What Are Your Cant Haves

Elizabeth Anne, I bought mine on Amazon.com and got the chocolate varitey as well they came together for around 12 dollars.

I ordered mine from Amazon too. When I got mine, I noticed that it came from a town about 20 minutes from me, lol. I had no idea when I ordered it. It tastes really good in my smoothies, but I've never tried it in much else.

There is really nothing I can't eat as long as I pay attention, chew and eat slowly. With that said, if I am anxious or tense, I can forget about eating...rushing in anyway will cause PB or being severely uncomfortable. Mornings, I am just not able to eat at all for a few hours or more unless I drink some hot liquids. Needless to say, I drink a lot of shakes or Water. Oh, and the car.... Not a good idea unless you have a bag nearby. In my case, it's not enough time to focus and chew properly... Unfortunately it's going to be trial and error. I have found it helpful to journal my mood/emotion as well as my food which is how I discovered when I have the most problems.

Funny about the car....It is only recently that I have NOTbeen eating my Breakfast on my drive to work. It usually takes me 30 minutes with all the traffic. Perfect amount of time to eat and keep my eye on the clock to time in between bites.

Rice. That is one thing I for sure can never eat. No matter how it's cooked. I can no longer eat chicken or turkey breast and those were my favorite. bread is hit or miss. Most times, though, I can't eat it. Hamburgers are hit and miss as well. Oh, and fresh or stir-fry broccoli. I can't eat it.

It really is hard for me to plan meals each day for myself AND my son.

For those who can't eat turkey, chicken, or beef, how do you get your Protein? Most all my protein comes from meat sources. There is no way I could get all my protein in if I couldn't eat meat. I refuse to live on protein shakes....I know their are eggs, cheese, and milk also, but meat is your biggest source of protein.

Did I hear a few people say they can't eat shrimp or lobster? Please tell me you are the only one!?!? Shellfish is pretty much the only Protein I eat, other than the shakes. Say it isnt so!

So far I can eat shrimp and lobster. When I mentioned it to my nutritionist, she was surprised as she's heard many of us can't. I was eating steamed chicken & blended broccoli from Chinese takeout before my first fill and did fine. After the fill, no more chicken, no matter how much I chewed. So for now, it's steamed shrimp & broccoli. I had lobster the night before my first fill as it was my birthday the day of my fill. That went down with no problem but I haven't had it since so I'm hoping it won't be a problem now. It's not like I eat it every week. It's a treat.

I cant do tortilla's. I tried it two different times, chewing really well the second time and still got stuck. So now I just have my chicken salad/tuna salad on a piece of toast.

Both times was flour...I haven't tried, nor do I think I will, the corn ones. It's weird I can have bread but a bite of tortilla forget about it.

Welp. Tried a plain, no bun all beef hotdog last night. Nope. That sucker killed me for about 4 hours until I finally had to bring it up. I had bad heartburn all night and woke up with it STILL in my pouch. Sucker would not go down. Check that off the list. Yuck.

      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.
