best good foods and favorite bads



Recommended Posts

We all are doing this because of the wonders it can do with our body and life, and hopefully most of our bodies crave the better choices, but it isnt always so. So for thr sake of being human let's post what our new good for you wants and cravings and our bad ones.

My favorite new good food that I crave are salads, but with romaine lettuce. Lots of tomatoes and black olives and cucumbers with light ranch on the side. Since surgery I love veggies and was so afraid I wouldnt be able to eat them but thankfully I can for the most part. And its always best super fresh!

My bad craving tho generally is salt,and its the salty kettle chips. Its only 1 brand I will eat (its a brown and black bag of sea salt and ground pepper) but if I have access to these its a total beware situation because before you know it half of thr bag is gone!

Whay about you?

I'm still learning to "love" Protein shakes! LOL Seriously, taking away the simple carbohydrates that I craved pre-surgery has allowed me to really learn to enjoy the wonderful summer fruits. Cherries, peaches and watermelon are my favorites.

I will admit to eating those stupid orange slice candies. Talk about empty calories! I figured out what I really like is the crystal sugar on the outside of the candy. The good news is I can only eat one or two now where I would have eaten half a bag before starting this process.

I wish there was a way to crave only the healthy food, and to view the other stuff as "poison".

My new favorite good is cottage cheese. I mix Jello with it or sf pudding. Yum! I'm really craving pancakes at IHop!! I started back to school yesterday and passed up on the chips, and fruit chews. Next week they will be serving us Breakfast two days. I know there will be Bagels and cream cheese ...something else I'm craving. Help!

      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.
