Who knew eating healthy tasted so good!



Recommended Posts

Pre-op I thought I must really enjoy food to eat so much lol.... Actually until I was banded and started eating healthy did I truly know what food tastes like. Im not trying to say that cheesy tex-mex or fried food tasted bad. Im saying eating healthy food and really TASTING it. Maybe its that Im actually paying attention to what is actually going on instead of mindlessly eating from boredom,comfort or whatevers. I have become the quite the cook! I look up recipes usually go to pinterest healthy section and see stuff I like by the pics then ingredients and try it. Made some quinoa lime salad, seasoned baked chickpeas, avocado-chicken salad, Califlower crust pizza. Alot of the stuff I cook I didnt even know what it is. Who Knew stuff that is good for you actually taste good and I look forward too. I havent had a fill and honestly I could eat as much as I want but I chose not too and what I do choose I ask myself does this fit in with my Under 1000 calorie goal?

If you're a fan of Pinterest look me up (fight4light) i have a lapband board have compiled quite the list of band friend stuff.

It's weird. I've learned a lot about myself now that I have the band. I love eating healthy. I LOVE substitute foods. Making things look bad and unhealthy but really be good for you. I've also gone semi vegetarian and tolerate more vegetables than I ever did before.

On top of all that, I can tell myself "no" now. I can tell when I'm hungry or just bored at home. It's an amazing feeling and just good to know ill have my happy ending.

      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.
