What Food Do You Miss?



Recommended Posts

It honestly isn't many....but I sure would love a taste of Chilaquiles Mexicanos. But my sleeve wouldn't go for that at all! What do you miss?

Four and a half months out and I have to say I don't miss anything yet. Sometimes I wish I could have more of what I'm eating, but remind myself of the goals and that it's not possible to go back anyway! I'm sure I will miss some things at some point, but so far so good.

Don't miss anything-

Especially the carb comas, sugar crashes and insulin spikes or the "god I ate so much I REALLY have to puke" feeling. Not even a tiny bit!

I eat whatever the hell I want- just mini portions.

Yesterday I had a fun size kitkat and today it's been all Protein and shakes.

You probably won't miss it in the short term and probably (after a few months) will have it in the long term!

I haven't really missed anything in particular. I have thought about a few favorites, but the thought passes quickly, and I'm good. I used to LOVE Lays chips (original in yellow bag, thank you) and I suppose I could have a few chips, but it's not worth it to me. I mentioned on another thread that I don't really enjoy food, not even old favorites. I eat because I have to, not because I enjoy it.

You know..I feel the same way. I now eat to survive. I used to enjoy eating and how it made me feel. Now..I like how yoga makes me feel! Going to start the Ease into 5 k app soon..hope I like the way I feel after that too!

food has become nothing but fuel to me. I enjoy what I eat, but I don't eat for enjoyment anymore. But it's weird, when I walk through a store and go by the Snacks and candy, I can feel my arm trying to reach out and grab what I want....not because I'm hungry, but just out of habit.

The food I probably miss the most is Subway. I love, love, love Subway, and there is just no way to even think about eating all that bread. Not only can't but don't want too. Also cannot tolerate chinese at all except for shrimp eggs foo yung. Oh, well...it's only food. Kathe :)

I used to eat Chinese food like it was my job! Since I was sleeved (7/3) I had a bit of broccoli with steamed chicken. It tasted good, but very filling. I haven't had any since.

I don't really miss anything, but I remember what I used to like eating: orange chicken, popcorn ( especially caramel and white chocolate), apples, bananas, costco cake, apple fritters, Mexican a la crema and more. I guess the reason I don't miss them is because of one of the major reasons why I had this surgery. For the past 10 years or so I have constantly had a love hate relationship with food. While I enjoyed the initial experience of eating, I almost always hated my behavior that leads to over eating too much of the wrong types of food. My will power would be like steel sometimes, but then it would be razor thin other times. I got so fed up with the love hate relationship and what is was doing to my health, mental state and general well- being, I had to do something to stop the vicious cycle. That is where the surgery came in. All in all, I say good riddance to all these foods. For that reason, I don't desire them any longer and feel I am free from the power they held over me. The door has closed on that part of my life. A different door has opened where I have a healthy relationship with food as fuel. While many can probably relate to this power struggle i described , everyone is different. Good luck.

I can't really say I miss any food. But I do miss the convenience of being able to grab something anytime anywhere. Now I have to plan where I'm gonna be or carry food with me. I'm pretty strict on my diet right now and most places you can get a truck don't offer healthy options of the grab & go variety.

I stopped at a truck stop today and saw Muscle Milk. I thought of you, although we've never met.

You know..I was with a friend and our children and they stopped for Subway and I found Light Muscle Milk at the truck stop. I was very excited over this...who would have thought me of all people would be excited over muscle milk!

      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.
