I was in Australia quite a few years ago and the stuff was everywhere. I can eat almost anything - that's why I'm in the shape I'm in - but I COULD NOT get it down. I think you have got to be raised on it or you will likely have the same reaction that I did. Don't waste your money on this because you are simply curious - Believe the people here and save your money. Curiosity killed the cat. :omg: Remember that!

Sounds to me like you can have a similar experience eating Cincinnati Chili. Anyone who ain't from here can't stand it. But if you're from here, it's sacrilige to not eat it. Most people can't imagine nutmeg, cocoa and cinnemon in their chili.

It's good eatin'! And, easy on the band (although it is very high in fat).

MMM .. hommus!! I was introduced to it when I moved here. It looked nasty lol, but I finally caved and tried some. I don't have it on pita bread, but on crackers/biscuits instead.

Once a week, usually on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, my family has what we call a "picky night". I go to the market and get gourmet crackers, dips (generally hommus, tzatziki, olive), cheeses, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh veggies and a few different types of deli meats. We just sit around watching movies and munching. That's our splurge for unhealthy food generally, as I'm not too keen on pizza anymore or fish n chips...

When I say splurge though, I "may" get 4 crackers in lol.

Big fan of the lamb roast as well, but I tend to like the fatty bits best so don't cook them often lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
