Frozen Cool Whip, straight out of the bowl. Peanut Butter mixed with powdered sugar. Cream cheese mixed with regular sugar. Haagen Dazs dulce de leche ice cream with coarse ground sea salt. Bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit from McDonald's topped with grape jelly.

Damn, just typing all that made me nauseous.

A simple mid-day snack for me consisted of a chocolate bar and a soda! Tsk Tsk Tsk.... I havent' touched soda since my 1 month prior to my surgery (April) yet and chocolate I have only indulged in a dessert bite. Never again will I have that as a snack, all that sugar, all those calories, not healthy.... Love my new mind set after my WLS! :)

I use to mix Frosted Flakes with my Homemade vanilla Blue Bell ice cream. It was super yummy to me. :blush: :blush:

I work for a toothpaste manufacturer - I suggest that if you ever do this again you make sue it doesn't have fluoride.

Any kind of ice cream. I would have Blizzards for lunch and eat out of the bucket after supper. Could eat at least a bucket a week. I was all about the sugar- cake, Cookies, Cereal with sugar on it....I agree with the sugar addiction stuff. I am afraid that one bite might make me want to eat it again. Fortunately I no longer like the taste of ice cream. Thank you to my Surgeon!

I also liked banana foster over Swedish pancakes. I have modified my pancake recipe so it is high protein/low carb. 1 egg, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, 1/2 c skim milk, 1 tbs ground flax seed. mix. I use coconut oil instead of butter to coat the skillet and make my version of swedish pancakes about once a week. I have made the banana foster with splenda brown sugar to top my Breakfast (and get fruit in the day) and once I splurged and coated the pancake with nutella.

As a kid, I absolutely loved white bread with mayo. I also would sneak the box of powdered sugar and eat it with a spoon.

As an adult....Bananas Foster over vanilla ice cream. You slice a really firm banana into slabs, melt butter, brown sugar and rum in a sauce pan, then saute the bananas until they are coated and slightly soft. Spoon them over ice cream while hot and you have a dessert to die for!

I LOVE Bananas Foster! I've even had it at Brennan's in New Orleans where it was invented. There is a good recipe for bananas foster French toast on www.bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com. I've made it twice and tweaked it by using vanilla Protein powder in the batter in place of the vanilla extract and Splenda. It's a super yummy treat.

Dipping the rectangles of a Hershey bar into Jiffy. Anything involving Peanut Butter and I loved it so much that it was one of the only foods I worried about never tasting again! Now I add PB2 to Protein Shakes and it gives me the flavor without the fat!

      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.
