    HELP NEED ADVICE ON FOOD

    Thankyou soo much, and I have a 2 year old daughter and I have already committed myself to cooking healthier for her and myself.. Problem is I have a huge family and we all live in one home and everyone with the exception of my daughter is 18 or older so they all have jobs and they ALL LOVE FOOD!!I come home from work or school and the smell of chineese or Dominos slaps me in the face.. its like torture. I can commend you on your bravery! 5 weeks out and your eating fresh veggies and terriyaki chicken from subway!? just the idea of introducing a sauced product to my pouch sends me back to my steamed fish , jello and lunchables , which btw I am sick of eating!! lol I would love to be able to try a small healthy appitizer in vegas if I wasnt afraid I'd get sick and ruin my whole annivesary weekend lol Now with trying new foods , did your nutritionist give you a list of foods or a timeline because mine did but it stops after the 30 days so when i got to day 30 I hit a wall and panicked

    HELP NEED ADVICE ON FOOD

    It feels so good to know that I am not the only person who saw food as my "freind". I am 5 weeks post and struggling horribly with adjusting to my new lifestyle. Sometimes I feel like Im going through a form of with drawal because a familiar part of me is missing. My family can never understand where Im coming from or why I get soo upset when they order out or sit directly in front of me and stuff pizza in their mouths while I sip 1% milk and protein. It gets so bad that I have to leave the room and spray lysol through out my home so that the tempting smells dont drive me absolutely crazy! I mourn my old friend all the time and I have difficulties eating and finding foods that work for me because deep down its not what Im used to.Then when I do find a healthy alternative I enjoy ,I cant enjoy it. I take 3 or 4 bites and Im completely full. any more and im on the verge of sickness. Food has gone from my best friend to that bully I avoid and am now afraid of. I have no clue how to get over this fear or where it even starts to get better. On top of that my fiance is taking to me vegas for our 6th anniversay at the end of this month and I am completely terrified I wont be able to enjoy my trip. I am technically now out of my 15-30 days puree stage but still not sure what foods I am allowed to eat or try or even if Im allowed a glass of wine on my anniversary. It all just scares me.

      you're not alone! I am 6 months post-op and instead of craving the junk food and candy bars I'm craving the fruits and vegetables. The only food that I can't eat anymore, that bothered me at first, is pastas with red sauce (like spaghetti). Now, just to even smell any red sauce makes me sick in the stomach. It's the same with anything being fried. gag!!!

      I think it is food withdrawal syndromes that everyone will experience. I would say to you to resist going out to dinner with the family for now. They may miss you for dinner but not in other areas of their life. Good Luck!

      Thankyou all so much for your words of encouragement.. It means alot to me to finally be understood and not looked at like Im crazy for saying things like I lost a friend in food.. I am trying my best.. So far I can keep down fish , yogurt , jello , and turkey lunchables.. anything else Im terrified to try , and suggestions on beginning foods? I am technically out of my 15-30 day pureed faze but I still continue to eat as if I am because Im afraid to try new foods
