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

      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.
