Food funeral for food youve mever had?



Recommended Posts

Is there such a thing? I've seen this new trend of Cronuts (sp?) in several places recently and I keep thinking I'll never get to have one. I still have to loose a few more pounds before my surgery in 9 days and I'm considering trying to find a place that sells them tomorrow do I can say I've had them at least once. It doesn't help that my hubby goes on and on about how good they are

Why not?

The sleeve isn't a death sentence, it's a tool for weight loss. You will be on a strict diet for a few months while you heal and then a doctor recommended diet while you lose. Hopefully you will teach yourself to make healthy choices and allow yourself a few bites bites of an occasional treat.

It's all good. No need to mourn a food you've never had because it does not mean you never will. :)

bread makes me feel like crap and I no longer want it. I can have a bite and be fine, but anything past that and I feel awful for hours. My bestie can eat bread with no problem and she is a year out from me (I am 11 months out).

Nothing is taboo, you just need to decide what's right for you. But remember, it's a treat, not a staple. :)

      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.
