By now we all have come to realize that we must change the way we eat in order to achieve our goals. I thought it might be fun to talk about fav foods we are already missing or think we might miss in the future. Also, we can post situations pre-op or post-op in which we have had to resist temptation (i.e. out to dinner with family, vacation, ect.)

It's o.k... The moron, I am, Went to my fav deli yesterday for the best consumme on the east coast.. 1st time I ever went in there and didn't buy the best pickles on the east coast.... Hubby went to BK last night, So as*hole me, decided I can chew the pickles from his burger to get the flavor and then spit it out.... Well out of reflex, I swollowed a nano-chunk and had hell to pay alll night. So, my advice, FIGHT IT! just close your eyes and pretend. The pain is not worth it!

I'm 4 days post-op and decided to visit the "confessional" (like on reality tv shows?) again.

I'm not struggling or feeling desperate or hungry, but I had a wistful thought today and briefly mourned my ability to eat frosted strawberry pop tarts.... and cinnamon/sugar Auntie Anne pretzels with cream cheese dipping sauce.

You will be able to eat a quarter of a toasted pop-tart in a few weeks, as for the pretzel.... yeah thats a tuffy. BUT My sister who is the weight watchers goddess, has a recipe for cream cheese dipping sauce thats got like 1 gram of fat & no sugar!! and you can not tell the difference! so when I have the strength (as in major food weakness to overcome) to get that recipe I'll share it

Must. have. WW. cream. cheese. dipping. sauce. now. ohhhhh......

Anything with dough!

mm....man my tummy is growling now just reading all of this! Here is my list of favs...

-Pasta & Garlic bread(grew up in an italian household full of all different kinds of pasta dishes!!mmmm...)

-pizza (yummm...guess that goes along with the italian )

-Fajitas with flour tortillas

-baked potatos...and dipping the skins in ranch dressing

-pbj sandwiches

man...im starvin now. doh!

I am only 3 days out...but I know I will miss bread..I am a carb aholic. give me a sleeve of saltine crakers and a glass of milk and I am good. actually any bread with butter or garlic...mmmmmmm. great now im hungry..lol:biggrin:

I'm a comfort food type of gal. Deserts don't bother me at all. My number one food that I will miss is mac n' cheese. I hope I will eventually be able to enjoy it in extreme moderation. Number 2 missed food will be Friday night pizza.

Did someone say we can't have spicy???? Say it isn't so. I love hot sauce on just about everything. I will miss that severly if I'm not able to have it!!
