You're very welcome! Please let me know if they are tasty. I have not tried them, but I am now inspired to develop a Paleo recipe myself!

For me it was pie. I did not make it often because if I did I could keep eating it until the darn thing was gone. I just love pie. Now, I could really care less about sweets at all.

Anything super cheesy.. I'd put tostito chips on a baking sheet with big hunks of cheese on them and pop them in the oven. The strangest maybe, putting lunch meat like ham or turkey on a plate and covering it with shredded cheese and melting it together in the microwave.... So yummy.. I already miss that

As a kid, anytime we had leftover white rice, I would put the cold white rice in a mug then top with sugar, cinnamon and milk. Mmmmmmmm. Taste like horchata.

I loved avacado sandwiches with lots of mayo or anything with lots of melted cheese. I was not a sweet person more of salty snack and that was my down fall everytime chips and dip.

It was nothing for me to eat a mixture of soft ice-cream, cookie crumbs, cake crumbs with frosting, and sprinkles. It sounded so good back "then" but now as I type it, it sounds hideous.

I also used to love taking a fresh Italian hoagie roll, soak in melted butter and inhale it.

I swear if these weren't cries for help, I don't know what was! I can laugh at it now. ????????????

Gross, greasy, just plain yuk! LOL

My grandmother introduced me to Peanut Butter and Karo Syrup.< /p>

I knew that low-fat Peanut Butter wasn't for me the first time I tasted it. Sure enough it has added corn syrup.

Mine was peanut butter mixed with maple syrup. To this day I can't keep maple syrup in the house out of fear that I'll give into the temptation. Each ingredient by itself doesn't do anything for me but together it's a bit of paradise.

Sweetened condensed milk...I've not had my surgery yet but I used to look forward to thanksgiving because I usually make the corn pudding and I would get an extra can of sweetened condensed milk just to eat. This year I didn't make it so I didn't have any. Thank GOD!!! Lol

About the condensed milk..........my mom used to take baking cocoa and sugar and condensed milk and make hot chocolate that way. it was even better if we had marsmallows. Now I just have instant sugar free cocoa and Water.

I haven't eaten the peanut butter/Karo syrup combo in at least 25 years but the memory lingers (see my note about low fat peanut butter)!

Someone is going to take all of these "concoctions" and open a food stand on the boardwalk down the Jersey Shore. They'll make a fortune! Some of the most creative I've read so far are the potato chip and mayo sandwich (white bread of course) and the hot cheetos in ice cream.

As far as my mashed potatoes and kernel corn on white bread, slap a southern fried chicken tender and some gravy on it and you've got an entire meal, LOL! It would sell. I know it. BTW I am from NJ and my husband and I joke that one day we will open such a food stand and sell the most unhealthy combinations of food. I've crowd sourced the concoctions on Facebook and people have been drooling over them! Two that I recall right now are: Neapolitan ice cream sandwiched between two pop tarts and rolled in rainbow jimmies, and a pizza egg roll (its an egg roll on the outside and pizza on the inside).

My husband and I stopped into a German restaurant for dinner. Fortunately I had the good sense to look at the menu before sitting down. Everything was breaded fried pork or sausage. The meal for two came with a variety of meats (as long as they were either breaded fried pork or sausage) and German potato salad, noodles, and some other kind of potato. OMG people were saying how good the food is at this place!!!!

      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.
