What is your food weakness?...



Recommended Posts

Reading this thread is not helping my pre band weight loss attempts :laugh . Thankfully I don't even know what some of those things are!

Oh and Zoe, where I live in Australia (it can vary) we call your crisps and french fries both chips. As Parvathi said, we sometimes say 'hot' chips meaning fries. BUT THEY ARE ALL YUMMY :)

Yeah I actually think half the pleasure in some of those naughty foods is cramming them in fast. I find if I tell myself to slow down, I often cant even be bothered eating them. chips are meant to be eaten by the handful, lol.

ICE CREAM!! I've only had it a few times. Unfortunately the band does nothing to restrict it AND even worse, a Baskin Robbins is opening about 1/4 mile from my house! My all-time favorite flavor is from there, and I won't even mention it. The other stuff I love is really hard to eat (cake, pastries, etc.)

Definitely, my biggest food weakness is ice cream. Confession: before banding, I ate probably 2 cups every night! And I'd throw in a Sonic Blast (ice cream blended with M&Ms) about 3-4 times a week, if possible! The other weakness was bowls--huge bowls--of Cereal. Now, if I eat cereal at all, it's about 10 Frosted mini-wheats in a little tiny bowl I used to serve Condiments like pickles or something in! What a difference! I have eaten ice cream since the band, but it's like a 1/2 cup...and I'm satisfied! What a concept! Cindy

Beef Sausages!!!!! I love them spicy, mild or whatever. I love em boiled, fried , baked yum, yum. I also love Hotwings!!!! Cheesecake, Cheesecake, and more cheesecake!! Plain no toppings. Yum YUm last but not least I absolutely adore my mama's collard greens(yep I am down south yall) . This may sound healthy collards are a vegetable, but my mama puts all parts of the pig in them yyyyyummmyyyyyy. I am talking Hamhocks, pigtails(maybe I am grossing some of you out but this is my favorite dish). I also love chitterlings(chittlins'). I love everything unhealthy ....yep that's about it. LOL

Loupyloo: I've been to some open AA meetings; and that's exactly what they sometimes do. When they tell their stories, they describe what they drank & took. I guess we're no different.

Sorry, Penni, but ice cream is my fave. Maybe I can burn down the baskin robins they're building?

oh how I miss Chinese food...........I have tried it once since being banded, and couldn't even get two bites of a chicken finger down.

Mine is chocolate ...Any type of chocolate...yummmm.

Also Jess, I can still eat chips as in potato chips, but I cant eat hot chips...weird!! But good, because chips and gravy were a down fall for me too.

I never was an ice cream freak UNTIL I got the band, go figure.

Since being banded I eat about 1/3 of what I use to eat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
