Leave My Food ALONE!



Recommended Posts

I cannot eat much. My stomach is the size of a Sharpie. I have to prioritize my intake. So, dammit, when I find a yummy AND nutritionally balanced AND sleeve friendly meal.... Leave my food ALONE!!!! Don't eat my leftovers. Let me enjoy it.

Why is it what I'm eating and/or rationing out is the most appetizing thing in a 50 mile radius to my family?!?!

And then I feel selfish and guilty for getting so annoyed. Like I'm being the greedy food ogre who never wanted to share?

My daughter and I go through this all the time.

Its not like I dont buy her her taquitos or spicy noodles, etc... No I come home to find my cheese, ham, pudding and fudge bars all gone! Its so frustrating.

We finally had a talk and I explained it was possible to starve me that way (she is 15).

I wasnt going to eat her Snacks and goodies so she needed to be more mindful....

Now if only it worked :-)

I woke up this morning came down stairs to find Protein Cookies wrappers in the living room!!!

Well there is only one person that stays up later than me in this house..It's a 17 year old girl child that I'm patiently waiting for to come down the stairs so I can pounce!!

Haha! You know what she said!??

"Ok, whatever, they aren't even that good"

0_o

Now she's dissing my only joy? I have successfully convinced myself these things are better than Nestle toll house chocolate chip cookies!!!

She comes down in the middle of the night FINDS (because they were in my secret cupboard) my Cookies. Eats them LEAVES A MESS. Then has the nerve to talk crap about them!

Oh, but then she tells me that my dill pickle Protein Krinkles where good though??

what the????

Sing it, sister!

I work from home so I keep all my Protein bars, nuts, Jerky, etc. in my office. My cold foods are in the bottom drawer of the fridge and everyone knows no touchy. It's getting better now that I am farther out and can find more things to eat.

My two teens know they can have anything they want, they just can't have the LAST one. My husband, on the other hand, deserves a regular b***h slapping.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my, I can TOTALLY relate!! My 18 yr old daughter eats ALL my stuff!! I've taken to labeling it "Eat this & I will cut you", LOL! It doesn't hurt that I can yell REALLY loud, and I have no shame even though its about food!

Teenagers!!

My husband and I each have our own drawer in the fridge. He puts all of his meat in his since I'm a vegetarian and I put the food I don't want to share in mine. Everything else is fair game. :)

Nice. Cost is beyond my budget though. Cheaper to just take out the teen. :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
