Healthy Food Can Taste Good!

I just left the grocery store and was getting a little self-conscience about what was in my cart. I wouldn't let my hubby put anything "bad" in there. I want my kids to learn to love healthy options. I have always thought healthy food couldn't possibly be as good as that greasy deliciousness from the burger joints or the sweet stickiness of a fresh donut. Well, I was wrong. I am learning to absolutely LOVE fruit and veggies again. Since I have to get all that Protein in and the fruit and veggies are "treats", I am looking at them in a new light. I live for my fruit daily. Any "real" sugar makes me sick. But natural sugars in fruit and veggies I have had no problems with. Also, I picked up the sesame WASA crackers today and put some lite laughing cow garden cream cheese on them. Talk about DELICIOUS! My husband loved them! I feel guilty giving my kids tons of carbs now and find myself giving them cheese and fruit for a snack instead of a granola bar or a fruit snack. I am just feeling really, really great about my new life with my sleeve, and so thankful!

How long since your sx? I am still deciding if I want to do it or not!

I felt the same way after surgery, I was so surprised I was craving salad rather than junk! I like that certain "bad" foods actually make me feel sick after eating them, it really helps with the temptation to fall back to old eating habits. Anything too high in fat or greasy/fried just doesn't sit well in my sleevie.

I love to have a few sweet grapes as a snack and I love the laughing cow wedges too . . . I like to slice cucumber and spread a little of the light swiss wedge cheese on the slices.
