What I'm I going to do

There is a new Krispy Kream Doughnuts in my area. The hot light was on and cars lined up from the streets with police patrol. I just drove on by without succumbing to that temptation. Note to self, new route home.

Congratulations on your wise decision,

One thing has worked with me regarding fast food, and actually I used this for the last several years even before starting my WLS journey - keep in mind how it can be disappointing! I kept seeing an ad for a new Wendy's sandwich that looked great, fresh lettuce, fluffy bun, etc. I gave in and got one and it looked like most fast food, slapped together and resembling something that had been sat on! There was no sauce, the bun was smashed and squished, it wasn't hot enough, and it all added up to a waste of 450 calories on something that wasn't even good. Ads usually look so much better than the reality.

When you said Krispy Kreme, the first thought I had was how sick I feel after two donuts, the nasty greasy coating on my teeth, the slight nausea, etc. Yes, their raised donuts are good when warm, but the cake kind are too sweet and kind of sickening IMHO, lol. Not to mention the feelings of shame afterwards.

Stay strong!

I'm lucky, Krispy Kreme donuts mean nothing to me. Now put a white wedding cake with white icing in front of me and it'll be a little harder to pass up! B)

Good for you. I haven't had my surgery yet, don't even have a date, but am trying to eat less in preparation. When I want something I know I really don't need I tell myself that you already know what it taste like, so you don't have to eat it. You have to do whatever works for you to stay on track, even if it means you have to take a different route. :)

I went a picked up donuts for my husbands work and didnt realize we still had a krispy cream not to far away. They hand you a donut when you walk in.I ate half and felt like I was gonna die in the car. The sugar hurt me bad. The 15 minute drive home seemed like an eternity to use the bathroom.

I gagged the other day driving past a Taco Bell. No fast food cravings here. I know exactly how terrible my body will feel after. Eat clean!

      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.

      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.
