Nicci 28 Posted September 26, 2012 I decided tonight that two foods I will truly miss post procedure are chocolate and chili dogs :-P How silly is that? I am addicted to chocolate though and am sad to know I must say goodbye to it. A healthier, thinner me is more important than that chocolaty yummy goodness. Oh dear sweet chocolate i will miss you so! :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nate 292 Posted September 26, 2012 You can still have a piece of chocolate or a chili dog every once in a great while as a special treat to yourself. Just dont make a habit out of it. Reward yourself for being good... give yourself something to strive for. 2 Nicci and keya34 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashleyxx 277 Posted September 26, 2012 Not a food but POP! I havent had any since surgery and I plan to stay away from it, I use to be such a diet pop junkie, I know as soon as I had a sip I would be drinking them everyday. 2 amykins and Nicci reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicci 28 Posted September 26, 2012 Chicago Bears Football will be hard to watch without the "junk food" but I'm confident Cutler will get me through it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted October 4, 2012 I don't miss any food. There is no food that I can't eat. One good thing is people say your tastes change. I still love chocolate, but not as much as I used to. I drink a Protein drink every day, and lately I have been loving my orange cream and banana pudding flavors more than chocolate. It's weird. 1 Nicci reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted October 4, 2012 I thought I would miss stuff a lot. There have been times when my brain has tricked me into thinking I do. The truth is that I really don't. I thought I wanted pizza for about six weeks. I finally decided I would try one piece a week or two ago and all it tasted like was greasy blah and made my stomach do turns. I loved candy pre-op. I used to eat a piece almost every day. I don't miss it and the further I get out from having it, the less I think about any of it. I still will allow myself treats here and there, but it's not as difficult as I thought it would be, at least not at this point. 2 Nicci and dar1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bratvp63 118 Posted October 4, 2012 Chili dog minus the bun is still one I love and have at least once a month. I add cheese and onions to mine. chocolate is something I thought I would have a hard time with but I really don't crave it like I used to. And one little piece is more than enough and it's weeks before I even think about it. 2 Nicci and Red597 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sannah 258 Posted October 4, 2012 My nut taught me that food is not "good" or "bad". I can have anything, in moderation. Also I can view food as a trade off. If I eat a high calorie food to maybe consider doing a little more activity. Sounds like you will be able to enjoy the things you love!!!!

I find it comforting to know that the two foods I will miss the most can still be eaten as an occasional treat, and ya know I never thought about going without the bun....perhaps I will start to do that even pre-op :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amykins 202 Posted October 8, 2012 Hmm, the only think I really and truly miss is Mountain Dew. I don't drink coffee and it was my morning wake-up fix. One 20-oz bottle would last me 3 days. But I know it would do serious damage to my tummy. Anything else I can think of can wait till I'm at goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dar1983 751 Posted October 8, 2012 greasy cheeseburger and fries! I have had a slider minus the bread...no longer appetizing for me. I have also had a few fries at a ballgame. Again...the thrill is gone. 1 Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaredy Cat 92 Posted October 8, 2012 So hoping the thrill is gone for fries! I am a self-proclaimed potatoe ***** (just a term, not real) and I will eat them anything they're cooked. I think not eating potatos, Pasta and rice would save me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
