Foods I Will Miss



Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

Chicago Bears Football will be hard to watch without the "junk food" but I'm confident Cutler will get me through it ;-)

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.

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.

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.

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!!!! :)

That is soooo wonderful to hear!!! 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 :-)

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.

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.

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!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
