Why is food ALWAYS involved?!



Recommended Posts

We do a little bit of traveling/ eating in the car too. I love turkey Jerky, Belvita Breakfast biscuits, fresh fruit thats not messy ( sliced apples are my favorite ) wheat thins w/ pb, nuts, dried fruit, raw carrots, cheese sticks, etc. Have fun !

Every time I walk into the kitchen at work and see leftover donuts, Bagels, Cookies, sandwiches, etc., I just look down at my body currently clothed in size 8 slacks and a medium blouse and that's all I need to walk out again without taking a damn thing. I used to be in a size 26 slacks and a 4X blouse. Enough said.

I totally understand what everybody is saying here. It's better right now because it's summer time. I teach at a college and most of the other faculty are not there. But when they are there is constantly food in our breakroom I have to go in there because that's where the copy machine is. And it's not healthy food either it is bags of Cookies and guard ghettos and popcorn and all sorts of things I have attempted in the past to bring in fruit and if it gets eaten but never gets replaced and I cannot afford to keep bringing in fruit. We also have potlucks all the time and 90% of the see you today is brought is not healthy even though everybody that I work with claims to eat healthy. Then every second Sunday is potluck at my church and again people claim to be eating more healthy but that doesn't stop them from piling on the butter bringing any kind of potato dish that they want to you. I'm really not looking forward to church this Sunday.

      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.
