I miss kielbasa, spaghetti and meatballs (or meat sauce), salad, Pasta salad (I'm a carb addict), solid chicken, steak, French fries, fish and chips, Chinese food....

I know I'll never have some of these again, but if anyone has ideas on what is OK to get for Chinese, or other ideas, I'd gladly welcome them!

Lets add fried chicken and bleu cheese to your list. And bacon. And salami. And tostito restaurant chips.

Ughhh, I want it bad. But I'm ok without it! I'm excited to live without it. :)

Chinese... I feel like beef or chicken with broccoli would be good. Or some type of stir fry? I'd ask them to go light on soy since that's a ton of salt. :)

THANK YOU for saying that! Beef/chicken and broccoli is my favorite! I was thinking it might be ok but not sure. And I feel ya on the bacon! I've had a couple small bites of it but not much, greasy things make The Man In The Pouch kinda angry. As for fast food, the only thing I really miss is KFC's chicken bowl and biscuits. Ohhh, biscuits....

I feel like there may be too much fat. But, also can't really eat a whole cup either. Looks like you're in the clear to me!

How far out are you? I'm still stage 3 mush so nothing crunchy here. I have cheated and had a couple bites of tuna the other day and it sat good with me. And i tried really thin turkey breast. But thats not supposed to start until Monday.

I just had Chinese the other night. Obviously no rice, but I had shrimp & lobster sauce (it also has chunks of steak in it). I looked up the stats on it first and it was low carb, high Protein, and delicious.

Believe it or not, I'm not missing a whole lot of food. Stuff just doesn't sound good to me anymore. BUT I think I could trade one of my arms for a good pop.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
