What ya eating tonight?



Recommended Posts

Yes i know' date=' just wished i wasnt so much because i get hammered on by people who dont post what they eat but its all good. I am bot going to fool myself to thinking i am doing good on my choices. I have to make myself accountable that is why i am truthful to all of you. Lol oh well[/quote']

Ya know, I was thinking about this the other day. Many of us (including myself) have been torn down most of our lives for what we do and don't eat. Wrong choices, right choices, each one of us has so many different things that our doctors tell us we can or cannot eat that to see us criticizing each other just makes me sad.

The world wants us to fail because we have over and over again. If someone posts that they need help staying on track that is a different situation, but we just shouldn't be mean to one another, no matter what. There are plenty of people in the real world to do that for us. If this process was easy everyone would do it and we should try to remain as judgement free as possible. We are all human so we will make mistakes and that is ok, but we should try and practice kindness as best we can.

Sorry, just my two cents. This board has been great for me because I don't have a husband, boyfriend, significant other doing this with me. I have my Mom who tries, but just how she had a problem with my food choices before, she still does now, so to have a group of people who even as different as our journeys are can at least share them? Priceless.

Hey ladies What is the reason on the no bread/pasta rule? I'm not sure if I can have it or not' date=' I'm just curious.[/quote']

There is a lot of difference on here on what food is permitted by everyone's doctors. A few of us, it seems, have doctors who don't allow bread, rice, Pasta (even whole wheat), popcorn, crackers, etc. My doc says to keep carbs as low as possible so I don't eat any of those things. However, I do think most people can have some carbs. Hope that helps.

Agreed100%!!!! I'm here because I need someone that understands. Even if its just the daily frustration of obesity or the funky post-op hormones, or griping about my bat wings (which aren't so bad yet....but my inner thighs, oh lord have mercy...), y'all get me!!! I have a fabulous support system, my family, friends, and co-workers are all amazingly supportive, heck, even my patients are on board. But in the end, they haven't been here, they don't understand...

Made ground turkey with seasoned diced tomatoes and melted mozzarella cheese. It's like the meat sauce you'd put on spaghetti, without the Pasta. Mmmm. And have it for lunch the rest of the week lol

Well said! This forum is for support. If we can't be totally honest here, where can we be? Making the right choices each day is really hard and we all make mistakes. Every one does.

TONIGHT: turkey/lean beef burgers with provolone. Yum!! Of course sans the bun

      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.
