How Soon After Surgery Can I Resume Competitive Eating Contests?



Recommended Posts

Of course, I'm just kidding. Was watching ESPN today and they had competitive eating contests on and it was disgusting! I almost threw up watching it.

Of course, I would lose because I would be able to eat only half a hot dog-- thank goodness!

That's one thing that I've noticed as well. Watching people eat, even normally, is disgusting. All the fat and carbs... And the amount alone.

I know what you mean, Star--- when you're out with people that have more food on their plate than I will eat in a week, I just want to tell them that they really don't need all of that. ( I may also be a little jealous that they can eat all of that and not gain weight).

That is so true. I was at the Soup Plantation and there were 2 guys in there 30's and they had the table covered with numerous plates. I was shocked at how much they were eating! Everytime i looked up, they were going back for more food! It made me totally sick. One had over 12 bowls of soup, 4 large plates of salad, fruits, deserts, etc. They also wasted a lot of food. So, I am so thankful for my sleeve and i like the portion sizes I eat. ;)

I know, isn't it amazing!! I think we are now actually eating the amounts we should before all the upsizing happened. Eating 5-6 small meals a day is better than 3 big ones. We could easily feed the world if we ate smaller serves.

LOL!!! I went into a resturant 4 days post-op to pick up food for my family and the smell of the place made me sick! Looking at all the food on the tables and the smell of fried anything was gross! I hope this last the rest of my 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.
