Recommended Posts

Im 8 weeks out. Im doing well. I started @ 307 now im 248. My eating habits have changed no doubt and I have cut out most of the things that got me obese in the first place. I work out every other day im a certified gym rat. If I miss a day of the gym I feel bad and I make up for it the next day. Ive been wanting fried chicken for a week or so now. The funny thing is after I eat it if I do, it may make my head hurt so bad that I may not ever want it again lol. What do you guys think. Will I turn into a gremlin after 12am after having a piece of fried chicken. Lol

I gave up fried chicken....The other day my cousin's husband was eating a piece of fried chicken and we discussed how it was par fried before reaching the restaurant and how they refried the chicken. So i told him that was fat on top of fat and a lot of salt.....He still ate the chicken. I won't, I don't need it. :)

I tried Popeye's and I was sooo sick. I say make your own with crushed corn flakes as the breading and bake it.

You'll probably feel guilty, don't do it!!! Instead, do this. Oven fried chicken, boneless, skinless breast, dip it in egg/milk or just milk, roll it in one of the oven fried chicken things....should be on the baking isle, or wherever the cornmeal stuff is located. It is GOOD, I promise!! Spray a baking pan with Pam and bake!

No, but it'll cost you another 30 minutes (or however much time it takes to burn off the calories) of cardio activity the next time you're at the gym. :D

If you're far out enough to eat it without hurting yourself AND willing to pay the price above, have at it!

Reading this made me think about how long it's been since I had anything fried. I can't remember when- definitely before surgery. My inlaws are on a low carb, Atkins-type diet. About a month ago we went to Red Lobster and they got the "Admiral's Feast"- a huge plate of every fried piece of seafood possible. But they wouldn't eat a baked potato. They did it again at my graduation dinner last week. They think fried battered food doesn't have carbs....IMHO, fried battered food is as bad as it gets...

Decided not to. I had left over baked chicken and some greens for dinner. Less than 4 ounces tho. Still cant seem to eat that much yet but I do eat 4 small healthy meals a day and snack on carrots. Beware some do gooder on this blog will find something wrong with that "like dont eat carrots you will turn into bugs bunny" smh.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
