Aussiegirl 580 Posted December 29, 2011 food porn got me through the first 2 weeks of recovery after surgery. It was weird I looked in every magazine for recipes and watching the cooking channels.

illgeturhairdid 176 Posted December 29, 2011 I'll tell you this- if my sleeve can handle it I will 100% have movie popcorn again in my life! All things in moderation and I will certainly not be eating the entire bucket myself... But I will enjoy it. I chose sleeve so that I could have all things in moderation! 1 Avillias reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indymom 132 Posted December 29, 2011 I have had buffalo wings, they are one of my favorites too. They are a bit of a splurge - even though they are high in Protein, they are also high in fat so I try to avoid them in general. They also make me want to drink beer. I am 4 1/2 months out and have had some popcorn, it's not a trigger food for me so when I get it for my daughter at the movies I'm content having a few bites. I'm not doing super low-carb so I have had some breads, I find that regular bread fills me up too much but I sometimes will have a slice of toast with my egg for Breakfast - I think the bread being toasted helps it not be too "filling" if that makes sense. I really don't feel like I'm limited at all with my food options, as long as I get my Protein in first and don't exceed my calorie targets for the day nothing is necessarily off-limits in moderation. I think people just need to know their trigger foods and avoid the slider carbs that can get them off-track (such as the tortilla chips and salsa I ate at dinner tonight with my family - those are a bad slider for me so I really, really try to avoid them).

Becca 108 Posted December 29, 2011 Love this!!! I miss eating chips and salsa/ green sauce. The fried chips make me feel sick still at a year out. I used to be able to eat an entire basket by myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuteascanbelizzie 10 Posted December 29, 2011 Thank you SO much for the food porn. My family thinks I am torturing myself by watching the Cooking channel and Food Network but I love food. I just can't eat the way I used and I'm definitely ok with that. I'm one month out and know that my sleeve is still sensitive so I will take it easy before tasting my favorite food again. Happy eating with your sleeves! 1 lml32937 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ginajeans 4 Posted December 29, 2011 I LOVE hot wings and anything spicy. I am really hoping that my sleeve will tolerate spicy again. These days I am craving the weirdest thing: Dill pickles, the crunchy Claussen dill pickles. Someday..... 2 MissE and BunnyLove reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dooter 1,457 Posted December 29, 2011 I'm going to miss Krispy Kreem donuts with goop in the middle. :'( Donuts are my favorite food group. (Then I'll go try on some small clothes and feel better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minaleigh 95 Posted December 29, 2011 My favorite Mexican restaurant in town had the BEST chicken nachos. I can't wait to have some again, in several months time, of course. That and Papa John's pizza. Mmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
