Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I just shared my dinner with two of my dogs....



Recommended Posts

I thought I would treat myself today and bought some tamales at a Mexican grocery store (a total treat), figuring that with my current restriction, that I would have to cut them in 1/2 to eat 1/2 at a time. And sure enough, these suckers are ginormous and I couldn't even eat a 1/2 tamale. So, the Lab got the majority of the chicken (I have trouble with meat if it is not moist enough) from inside and a smaller dog got some of the masa part. I wasn't really hungry, so that could be part of it, but I'm heading out to something, where I won't be able to eat and had to eat something before leaving. I will make up with a Protein Drink when I am done for the night.

I struggle with tamales. Shredded chicken and my band are bitter enemies :angry:

I struggle with the taco shell, or tortilla part too, so I usually skip that part and just eat the insides. As far as the chicken, chicken breast are way too dry and stringy for me, but chicken thighs are nice and moist. Yes, they have a bit more fat on them, but I just cut the fat out of my food somewhere else so I can get the Protein in.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
