Flame Free Friday Confessions!



Recommended Posts

In order to break my stall I am going extremely low on calories. Sometimes only 200-300 a day. Totally not healthy and I can't keep doing this, but something got to give.

I cook for myself and my family, 2 different meals, and I always taste the meal for my family. Most of the time I am trying to check if its too salty, I can't seem to cook without tasting. This week I made some Pasta salad for the family and I had 2 table spoons >.<, and everytime Id open the fridge I would get 1 piece of Pasta.< /p>

I also drink a few sips with my meal, I am afraid that I might have swallowed without chewing well enough and that the food will get stuck in my tummy, especially when I eat chicken or pork.

Actually, increasing your calories might work a little better. Seems contrary, but it's true.

That's not a flame is it?

I'm really bad about "washing things down" if I have a bad taste in my mouth after a meal. Yesterday I had tuna salad and was a little too aggressive with some Water. I had my first "slime" experience in my car in the Sam's Club parking lot. GROSS!!

lol this just made me giggle..... I ALWAYS eat and drink at the same time. Boo!

My doctor told me that drinking while eating really isn't a big deal once you are past the healing stage of the first few weeks & back on solid foods.

My guilty pleasure pleasure is a large double/double french vanilla iced coffee from Tim Hortons every AM (but it takes my most of the morning to get ot down).

I've tried pizza (something I loved pre sleeve) & absolutely hate it now.

kiss the day goodbye and do better tomorrow !

I don't drink with my "meals" (it's hard to call it that yet) but I don't wait an entire 30 minutes before I do drink. I started eating mushies a week before I was supposed to. I'm going to start eating chewables probably 2 weeks before I'm supposed to. I despise all Protein supplements and so I am trying real hard to get my Protein from food. I am getting about 60 grams a day. Maybe I should start drinking milk instead of Water.

I ate too much cheese and managed to bind myself up.

I too think I am the only one in the world that the sleeve won't work on.

There. I feel better. Oh, and I eat a couple of ritz crackers a day too !

I take little samples from my room mate's take-out from time to time. He orders so much food every day it's annoying. Mostly junk but the stuff I used to eat a lot. Luckily, my sleeve will only allow me a taste ;-).

Here's my dirty little confession: I mooched meat & a tiny bit of cheese off my kids pizza tonight...and I'm 11 days post-op! And my Protein bullets started making me gag, so I ditched it for 2 days until I could go shopping for some shakes, now that I can tolerate cold liquids. I'm craving a mixed drink--and I stopped drinking 6 years ago--whodathunkit???

I ate a piece of KFC popcorn chicken, a bite of Mac and cheese, and a bite of mashed potatoes and gravy!

And it was sooooooooo good! I have never salivated so much in my entire life.

      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.
