OMG, this thread has turned into junk food porn! :P Oreos and ice cold milk were my study food of choice during finals and thesis writing, I could easily eat an entire bag :(. Someone up in the thread mentioned how they used to be made with lard and are now made with partially hydrogenated oil, the irony being that the ones made with lard were probably better for you and no doubt tasted better. Sweet fat, the original taste we are wired for, mother's milk.

Since we're getting all lusty about bad foods, let me just throw grilled cheese out there. Mmmm, I could fall into a pile of crusty melty gooey grilled cheeses and not emerge for days .........

EVERY THREAD on this forum is turning Ito food porn lately! I guess get a bunch of addicts together, what else we gonna talk about? :)

Between the food porn I'm trying to avoid and the "I lost 80lbs in 1 month" threads that I'm trying to avoid as my weight loss slows, I have to wonder how I still manage to spend waaaayyyy too much time on this forum! :P

And you know what Gamer, I'm with you, VST used to be a forum where actual sleevers could come and discuss the issues that arise from having had the sleeve. Now it seems to be full of people who are like, "I haven't had the sleeve, it may be a few years away if ever, but I have an opinion!" That's nice and all, but, no. And there seems to be an awful lot of suspicious posters, who seem like they are hawking either a doctor or product, and way way way too many trolls who post threads like "VSG destroys lives, I gained 100 pounds BECAUSE of the sleeve" yadda yadda.

I really think Alex and Susan need to clean house.

Things like Oreos are a triple whammy:

1) They are calorically dense, so you get a lot of calories without eating much food.

2) Because they stimulate the pleasure centers, people will eat more of them than they would a lot of other foods.

3) Because they are a combination of a fat and a carbohydrate, your body will much more quickly remove the excess calories from your bloodstream and pack them away into your fat cells. This is because the carbohydrate stimulates an insulin release, which opens the fat cells to storing the fat and the conversion of the carbohydrate to fat and then that being stored. This means that after you eat 500 calories of oreos you will be hungry much quicker than if you had eaten 500 calories of bacon.

I love oreos. I haven't had one in 10 months, and wasn't thinking about one until now! I always said cake and Cookies are like crack to me. I'm going to have suppress this vision of a fresh bag of oreos and a gallon of whole milk. Sigh. I remember those days....

Is it just me or has Susan been MIA for a while now? I was just thinking about this yesterday and then you mention cleaning house. I have not seen moderation type posts in a while, but perhaps I am either looking in the wrong places or there was above average moderation previously.

      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.
