what food do you miss?

I am currently missing my fried egg sandwiches with a glass of milk. I've never been much of a milk drinker (I was raised by wolves...), but there is just something about the combination of this sandwich and a glass of milk....

I miss going out for All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi. That was a regular for me. I haven't even tried sushi since banding though because I've seen too many people PB on the seaweed, and I really love my rolls.

OK..I miss Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwiches and Chili Relano's at Tia's. I miss doughy biscuits and bread and All carbs. I am afraid to try breads. I did try a flour tortilla as an enchilada and pb'd twice off of it. So I will pass on my beloved breads...sniff sniff

Pizza!! Some days it drives me crazy how much I crave it, and the kids have been begging to go out for it, I will have to break down and take them to pizza Ranch and let them have their fix while I dine on salad!! But I still wouldn't trade my band!

chicken buffalo wings, and alfredo fetticino, I know eventually I'll be able to have some pastas, but the nicely warmed toasted garlic bread. hmmm... oh well, but I'd rather keep the 33 lbs off that I've lost.

I miss bread. I was a really big bread eater. Sandwiches, rolls,light bread, biscuits you name the bread and I ate it. But I don't miss the 65lbs I have lost. Some trade offs are just worth it. I still take a bite or two of a crusty dinner roll but I don't eat the whole basket any more!!!!

I miss fresh bread, the gourmet selection at the bakery. All the fancy ones you can't buy prewrapped. (Three cheese, garlic and herb, pane bread) I walk by the bakery just to smell the fresh bread now. I'm only 3 months post-op so trying bread scares me to death. I'm not ready to push that envelope yet. I did have a flour tortilla wrap yesterday for lunch and it was delicious. I had to remind myself to chew and eat very slowly but the taste was amazing. Silly how a normal flour tortilla took on such a significant taste for me.

I miss my morning 2 pieces of toast and snow peas with dinner. Now I could still eat the toast but choose not too. As for the snow peas, no matter how much I try and destring it, the still get stuck!

I was never a huge soda drinker, but I miss being able to just chug an ice cold coke!

I miss being able to bite into a full sandwich and/or burger. Having them wrapped in lettuce and eating them with a knife and fork just isn't the same! There is this place in Utah called Crown Burger and they make these AMAZING Pastrami burgers. I have already told my husband that if/when I get pregnant and need to have my band loosened, it is the first place I'm going!

I know what you mean, its the the fact that we actually ate some of the stuff, but that the choice to be able to was taken away but us ourselves..

On the way back to work,( I talk to God alot talking thru my lifes situations ) and he always throws words in my head and he threw the word accountability in today. Before we were not accountable to no one for the food we ate but ourselves,(but we didn't care/worry about it) this lapband is forcing us to become accountable now, and we might be accepting but not liking yet. Hold the burger high for the rest of us when you do get to eat it girl!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
