Vegemite, banana and butter on toast. A carb feast with B12. Enough of these will give you type 2 diabetes, but you're very articulate about it.

what does this stuff actually taste like?? (Assuming there's something remotely comparable....)

I've never had anything remotely like it. Even the copy cat brands (that you probably don't get) taste completely different. Main thing is its not sweet - a little salty. I use it to make gravy if i've nothing else to use.

Try it - the trick is to keep it thin - it's not jam

Yep you want to keep it thin because you don't actually want to taste that shitED :P

I am so tipping off border security about you.

I have a feeling it would taste like bouillon paste.. Cause that's what it looks like.

Not really beefy. Although I use it to make gravy sometimes, just with boiling Water and some herbs, the family refer to it as "vegetarian gravy".

What I really miss is the one small biscotti I used to dip into my morning coffee. It was my excuse for "well I can't take my pills on an empty stomach". Seriously, the lies we tell ourselves just to get a little sugar into ourselves! That may be one of the few things I still crave. But we don't buy the biscotti anymore and although my husband threatens to make them from time to time, every time he brings it up, I distract him with a long list of honey dos....I wonder how long before he catches on? :P

Biscotti is actually pretty low-cal and you should be able to tolerate it because it is so crunchy...

Agree. My sleeved wife does these with her coffee on occasion. I think they are OK.

Salty and yeasty and a little bitter. It is nice on toast but you have to use literally the thinnest smear you can imagine. It is nice with a spoonful melted into beef bouillon.

I haven't lost weight for a week guys. I think it's because of all this food you keep sending me over the interweb...

or possibly too many toasted soldiers?? (PS we call that cannibalism...it's frowned upon). Perhaps your staples haven't passed???

From a pm to butter this morning...

"I'm just riding my exercise bike.. I'm really struggling with food right now and feeling out of control..

I actually gave in last night and had a piece of bread with Peanut Butter slathered on at 10 pm.

I need to stay off of my own fuckng thread.."

Sorry just thought I'd blast you guys with a piece of reality...

I didn't think microscopic staples weigh that much, but you could be right. Maybe they are holding Water? If my surgeon was really that advanced, he would have stapled my mouth shut.

      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.
