Americans are doomed!



Recommended Posts

So what is Vegemite?

Is it sold in the US?

Yes, but it's something cooks use for sauces and gravy and stews and glazes. It's not something many Americans like just plain. I think it's called Vegix or something.

I don't think it is the same thing. Vegemite is a by-product of beer. It is made of yeast and has a very very strong bitter flavor. It is usually served on bread or toast. (Nasty!!! Sorry Dean!)

It's a bit bitter. Maybe if we loaded it with high fructose corn Syrup it might appeal to an American pallet? ;):P:lol:

It really is one of those things that you wonder how it gained popularity in the first place - but once you're hooked you're hooked!

Since my surgery, I can't get over how many commercials are fast food related. I think I used to ignore them or consider them normal.

I think that's the scary part is that a lot people consider those amounts "normal" that's why I thought it odd when everyone in my house was like yeah? What after they saw that commercial!

My wife was mortified when I showed her your post as well as the nutritional content of some of the other fast food ads the forum posted. My wife always said, fast food and super sizes portions along with no self-control is why Americans are no heavy. We noticed when we travel throughout Europe most countries eat several small meals a day.

      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.
