Leave My Food ALONE!



Recommended Posts

My two favorite "quick fix" foods are Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls and Skinny Cow Salted Caramel Pretzel Bar.... Guess what my daughter's favorite Snacks are? Grrrrrr!

Dang Amanda I'd steal the salted Caramel bar too! (I'm PMs again...)

Oh girls that is a whole other thread!!! lol those Cookies are deadly! I love them too much and have to make sure I don't eat them everyday they are high calorie but really big.. I think they are 170 calories per cookie! Two per pack.. Look at the evil man on the box! Lol.. he knows he has you hooked :Phttp://www.bariatricchoice.com/trioplex-bariatric-protein-cookies-chocolatechip-box.html

That is a pretty cheesy grin that the "Chef" has on his face. I don't think they are that bad for 18 grams of Protein. On those days when I have to have something sweet I've been eating Anna's cookie crisps or Biscoff's Lotus Cookies. The only problem with these two choice is they have no nutritional value. The Anna's are 6 cookies for 133 calories, and 4 of the Biscoff's for 150 (I usually only have 2). Luckily there is only one week out of the month that I "need" to eat those, going to have to try the Protein cookies!

He's mocking us huh?? :P

Yeah when you look at it that way they do have value. They will fill you too.

I just have to be careful with things like that and Protein Bars. How many times I've almost bought a Quest bar just to put it back down as not to open that door too :D

Maybe it's a good thing we're on opposite sides of the country! I doubt one coast could handle two PMSing Sleevers like us in the same time zone!

I have a friend that is getting sleeved on the 25th of this month. I told her it can conquer everything but period hormones...I don't think there is anything that can overcome those except time or more surgery!

for me it sucks because I think I'm getting pre menopausal... So I never know when it's coming :(

Like this week I wanted to eat! I mean eat! It's like my sleeve "relaxes" and I can consume mass amounts.

I think uh oh there goes my restriction I'm broken!

Then the period comes and I go back to normal again??

For me it's not as much the cost as it is the inconvenience. I live 20 minutes from the closest store and order most of my goodies online. When my grown kids or grandkids come over and raid my stash I'm screwed until I either make a trip to the store or place an order!

I feel horrible, but I have started hiding my food, inside canisters, under my bed, in the back of my closet. I feel like an alcoholic or a drug addict.

I am in the same exact boat. It is kind of like going back to when you first started because you are sure when to plan for it and it is a whole new hormone cocktail to get accustomed to....fun times!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
