Flame Free Friday Confessions!



Recommended Posts

TGIF Bitchezzzzzz!

It's time for our Flame Free Friday Confessions, so spill you dirty little secrets and remember, we don't judge ;->

My dirty little secret of the week? I ate a nutty butty ice cream cone the other day and it was - DELICIOUS! I kept waiting for the restriction to hit about half way through but it never did. That tells me that ice cream is a dangerous, dangerous food. From now on I'm sticking to my SF popsicles.

Okay.. My favorite restuarant is the Grand Lux Cafe downtown Chicago... I had a friend visit from MN, so we went to dinner... I ate 2 chocolate chip pecan cookies!!! I've had one as a snack each night since Tuesday!!! (The server gave another half dozen as a birthday present!!)...

I had coffee and a cake donut at a 3 ½ hour long meeting Wednesday. I eat the donut in batches of 3 it took about 1 ½ hours and I had no real issues I felt the restriction and wasn’t over full, however by the end of the day I had to go to the bathroom (TMI) because my stomach felt upset, I thought I would have diarrhea but I didn’t. So what I learn is that donuts can be done with my sleeve and I get restriction but shouldn’t be done because of the tummy issues.

A friend of mine who had the full bypass found this carmel kettlecorn. Over the course of the week....I ate half a bag. Its not an excuse, but I was traveling on the road and the hotel didn't have anything that was sleeve friendly. So I survived on string cheese, greek yogurt, Protein Shakes and popcorn.< /p>

I don't have a lot to confess this week, thankfully! I bought a box of those tiny peppermint patties and I'm allowing myself 4 per day (40 calories). That seems to have cured my sweet tooth for now. :)

I have started taking a 50mg Tramadol pain pill before I leave work for home so that I'm not a raving lunatic b***h when I get there and find the house in an uproar (i.e. normal). My husband calls them my "happy pills".

Last week I read how cheetos were a big slider and guilty pleasure for many. I resolved to stay as far away from them- then my dad who is a huge enabler brought a huge bag of Jax (the best cheetoes ON THE PLANET!) and before I knew it 3 handfuls were GONE. Nothing else I've eaten has gone down like that. Afterward I couldn't believe I had eaten them- but then I realized that I STOPPED! Before this surgery I absolutely would have eaten that entire FULL SIZED bag without thinking twice. Now it's sitting in my cupboard and I haven't touched it since.

Last night I ignored my gentle full signal and took another bite. It was a five alarm OHMYGODIMDYING feeling. Holy crap my sleeve is no joke. I wasn't sure if I was going to pass out, die, start leaking, or all of the above.

I'm a month out and I eat like I did before surgery only in tiny portions. No puree, no mush, just regular old food. It's wonderful.

I ate some twizzlers the other day and also some chocolate covered raisins. Also I have been drinking more diet pepsi than I should and not as much Water. I am on a mission to do better from now on. I am starting to wonder if my back pain might actually be kidney pain from being dehydrated.

      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.

      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.
