I had some food tonight!



Recommended Posts

Not much at all but some. We went out with the inlaws and I planned all day on sometype of cream Soup for dinner.< /p>

I only had 1 protien shake and a puffing today so that was a total of 270 calories.

Then we went to this restuarnt and the 1st thing they tell me is they have an Italian clam chowder......yuk!.....Then they have the NERVE to bring us this wonderful bread with garlic and rosemary on it. So I had a few bites!....then the thought of the soup made me feel ill so I ordered flounder. I ate about 1/4 of it. The everyone wanted creme brulee, my absolute most favorite thing in the WORLD! So I had 3 small bites.

I know alot of people have lean cuisines and other stuff during this phase. I could really kick my self for doing this but I still think I must be under 1500 calories for the day.

Well this truly was my last supper! From now on we are calling ahead to see what kind of soup they have!

I did discover a really yummy smoothie this morning..Starr try this!

I took crushed ice, 1 cup of fat free diet vanilla yogart and the package of fuzzy navel nectar protien. Threw it all in the smoothie maker and enjoyed every second of it.

I am in my 4th week after being banded... So I'm new at all this.. What do ya'll eat, and when your eating solid foods, does it seem like you can eat more than you should? I will have a fill on the 26th. I think I'm really needing one. Also will a fill make that big of a difference?????

Yes, being correctly filled makes a huge difference. Just remember that this post-surgery time before your first fill is no-man's land. It's a time for healing and weight loss, if any, is a bonus. Concentrate on good foods that are on your list for post-surgery. Just what are you eating these days? How's it going?

Dianne, you had better just quit cheating on your pre-op diet!!! Give me your hand, let me give you a small smack...there. It's easy for me to say since I didn't have to do the liquid pre-op. :) so don't let me give you a hard time. You did choose well, though. Flounder was a good cheater food! (I'm ignoring the creme broulee and the bread...) lol

hehe .. I cheated pre op once or twice too. I'm pretty sure we all do. The nurse even encouraged having a 'last meal'.

It'll be over before ya know it :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
