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!

      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.
