What is your food weakness, (demise)?



Recommended Posts

I go through phases. I can't really say what is responsible for the phase like my monthly cycle or anything, they just happen. One week I'll be salty snack crazed and I can't stay away from things like Cheetos or potato chips. Oh my.... chips and salsa, especially queso just drive me wild. Then the next week it'll be Cookies. Then yet another week will be candies, like chocolate candy, jelly Beans, Gummy bears, etc. Oh God! I've got a multi-personality appetite! Maybe I need a shrink..

lMAO!!!! I can just see your facial expressions as you guys type your "demises". I see your eyes, closing.....tongue licking your lips and hands rubbing together as you describe it.

SLAP!

Caffiene and Dove ice cream bars. I'm less than one week post op and I was given one at work today. I couldn't say no. I ate it all...milk chocalate with vanilla ice cream. It went down fine! Probably wasn't too good for me but I think my body REALLY needed something more than Clear Liquids. I've been getting bad headaches. Probably from my caffeine addiction. I haven't had real food or caffeine since 4-19-06. I hope I start getting more used to this real soon!!!

:faint: It's been 2 weeks tomorrow, post op for me. I haven't had ice cream, caffeine or anything solid for 2 straight weeks. Im not saying I'm doing great or feeling great about some hunger pangs I get while I cook, but Im starting to get used to the idea that Im not eating food.< /p>

Dr. Rumbaut gave me nice imagery. He said, "Treat your new belly as if it was a new born baby's belly. Drink only liquids and wean it on food, progressively." Something to that effect. Not verbatim.

Anything made of chocolate. I am addicted and it is a CONSTANT battle daily to not eat it. I usually end up giving in and having a small bit each day. Alot different to the family block I ate daily pre banding.

I used tolove french fries too, but I am so thankful that my band wont let me eat them now, I have tried a few times and each time i end up PBing...so no more for me.

      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.
