Love of food...



Recommended Posts

On one of the pre-band posts, the person said they were afraid to loose their love of food. Two weeks post band, I am happy to say that while my hunger is gone, I have a new freedom to express my love of food. Before my love of food was over shadowed by my love of eating (two entirely different things. Now, with only eating a 1/2 cup with meals, I am making sure that 1/2 cup is the best it possibly can be. In fact, my wife has complained, that what I am eating tastes better, than what the family is being served :lol: so I took pity on her and I currently have a large crock pot of Chili Verde that has been simmering all afternoon, my family will eat it over rice, I will eat it alone.

Two often, I believe that we confuse quantity with quality.

Omg I could not have said it better. I love food. Planning my meals, cooking and discovering.new ways and of course eating. This the main reason I prefer to stay on solids!

      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.
