Sitting in a room full of McDonalds



Recommended Posts

I'm trapped in a car with everyone eating McDonalds cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets! I got an ice tea. I am secretly annoyed and talking to myself about how bad they are all eating but man this sucks right now. I had a Protein Shake this morning that made me feel like barfing at the end:( why does this make me so sad!? It's food!!!! Just food. Yet everything from Thai to Mexican has crossed my mind. ???? I feel crazy. (Rant over)

Just think of how bloated and disgusting you'd feel if you ate that! Stay strong! You got this!

Yeah thanks! In keeping my head done and reading this board to distract me until they are all done eating. I should have packed something bc now it has been hours since I ate... Lessons Learned.

Keep your head up! soon when you're feeling great and they are looking "schlumpy" you will be glad you didn't eat that crap ;)

I can tell you why it makes me sad.

Because I care about people. I know what kind of damage I caused myself & how much of my life I missed due to that kind of garbage. All I can think of when I see people shoveling trash into their face is the pain it caused me & how unnecessary it all was.

When I was on my Pre op diet my boyfriend used to eat McDonald's, pizza etc. I sat him down and told him that he is making it extremely difficult, even more difficult then it already is and that I was upset about it. He didn't eat it again in front of me thank god!

Could you say something like that to the people your with?

It's true. While yes the cheeseburgers smell good, its also like I'm wearing a live vest and watching everyone else drown and they don't even notice. After all, the moment passed and the food is gone, the smell is gone, and I did not partake. I think I will Celebrate with some puréed chicken Soup and a nap. Ahhhhh. ????????

I felt like I just got some help from my "sponsor" or something. Haha thanks everyone. Until the next temptation....

Yeah I have. My bf is usually good about it but in this moment we were driving in a rush. Yesterday we went to a Restaurant while on vacation and I could only have the broth of the Soup and my stepson was teasing me saying "aren't you jealous of my chicken tenders? They are so juicy and delicious". My boyfriend, his dad, scolded him and I told him that wasn't nice and he stopped. My boyfriend was with me at every meeting with the surgeon and takes the rules seriously. He scolded me for chewing bubble gum because of the sugar. He reminds me of the doctors orders when I want to cheat. I just wish he ate better too. This man eats fast food 2x a day. I always offer to cook but he likes bad food. How can I judge if I am fat? Idk but this will be a battle. I hope he gets healthy soon :(

      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.
