Ever had a stare with a Golden Oreo?



Recommended Posts

Well I did tonight. I am 13 days post op and am heading into hell. I wanted anything to eat. chips? A Diet Coke (it's my crack) maybe? And then I stood in my pantry and spied the Golden Oreo package. Those delicious little, calorie packed Cookies were once a great night time friend. I stared at those Cookies and then grabbed a can of low sodium green Beans.

It was difficult, to walk away and the I remembered I just went through hell with surgery and don't want to screw this up! Also, I'm down 18 pounds! 18. That is much better then a cookie.

Nice job of taking care of yourself by not giving in to a short-term treat.

Step 1: Take Orea out of box' date=' Step 2: Take meat cleaver out of drawer, Step 3: Pound said orea w/ meat cleaver and scream "damn you orea, damn you" repeatedly :)[/quote']

Great work, but you need to get rid of them, I understand they are for kids, spouse, ect.. I buy my kids treats i don't like and healthier things too so I am not tempted. Good luck you are doing great!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
