The Burrito!



Recommended Posts

First, ill start by saying I'm ashamed.

Second, I'm still a fat person what do you expect?

Sunday evening I made homemade burritos for my family. I always make a ton of food so I made 2 full casserole dishes. Everyone ate, got full and there were two remaining burritos. I shared one with my toddler so I ate about 3/4. Don't judge me. Anyhow, I wrapped the two remaining burritos in foil and put them in the fridge. I made myself very clear to ALL my kids that NO ONE is to touch my burritos. At this point I have clearly forgotten that I'm a bandster. But, I went ahead and threatened em anyway. Now keep in mind, I'm 36 years old and I have 4 teenagers & a toddler under 2. They are 19, 17, 15, 13 & almost 2. So I have to keep a close eye on my foods because these kids are animals when it comes to eating. They all take sports and they are ALWAYS eating. Someday ill write a blog all about my grocery bill. Ok back on subject.

So, its midnight and I'm still awake. If I'm up this late then I start feeling all snacky. I'm laying in bed and its totally dark in my house. All of a sudden I see a faint light in the hallway. Its not the hallway light. Its the refrigerator light! Ah hell no! I sneak down the hall, go left to the kitchen and peek around the cabinet. My son is taking a bite of my burrito! You can guess what happened from here right? Needless to say I wrapped my burritos back in foil and placed them safely in the refrigerator. Next day its lunch time. Yaaay me I get burritos!! Heat them "both" up ( minus one huge bite) and begin to take my tiny bites. Obviously I'm full before I finish the first one so I stop eating. My son is home on his lunch break. He's starving. I have 1 and 1/4 burrito left. I can't eat the rest but I'm protecting them like a lioness protecting her cub. I tell him to make a sandwich and chips. In the end.......I let him have the burritos! I need a fill! 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.
