Name something strange and super unhealthy that you used to eat before weight loss

@@pink dahlia I never knew that I had a sugar addiction until I did Whole30 last Spring - and I am 11 yrs out from my RNY! It is truly shown to be an addictive substance according to research I have read. I have to really listen to my body to sense if I am getting too many sugars/carbs because it will cause me to be hungry and gain weight.

I used to love Swedish pancakes. My mouth is getting a little moist just thinking about them. Impure thoughts!!!

I am going to sell your concoctions someday when I open my boardwalk food stand at the Jersey shore !!! They'll be best sellers.

Just a game my husband and I play...

@@Beni yum, I would so have loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches fried in butter and cheese fries with bacon -- maybe at the same meal -- in my foodie days!

@@fat_free This would be a big hit with the foodies! You should try to sell your recipe to Dunkin Donuts! Seriously!

Oh wait, my bad. I am supposed to be helping people to eat healthy! Never mind, LOL!

@@built2livenotexist this sounds tempting. I really am grateful for Paleo. It makes it so much easier to NOT justify eating foods like this to myself. For me it really is a slippery slope. All the money that I spent on plastic surgery isa pretty good motivator to eat healthy, too. :o

@@amponder I've been traveling in the South and it was darn hard to pass up sausage gravy and biscuits. I am thrilled that I developed a rocking recipe for a microwave Paleo buttermilk biscuit and adapted Paula Deen's awesome sausage gravy to be Paleo. Once in a while I will serve this with scrambled egg and it is sooooo good.

I have diabetes, celiac, lactose intolerance, and an aversion to red meat. It makes dining out a challenge! So I became a pretty good Paleo recipe developer. Here's the biscuit recipe for anyone interested: http://www.healthcentral.com/obesity/c/276918/172994/microwave-paleo-biscuit?ap=831

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.

Ha! That''s funny! Growing up, we never had junk food in the house..........ever. So, I learned at an early age to improvise. One of my favorite things to do..............on the sly of course.........even at 8 years old, I was hiding food.............would be to mix either maple syrup or brown sugar with peanut butter (depending on what was available).

I would mix it a coffee cup, and then be sure to wash the cup out. (Couldn't leave any evidence). How sad.

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.

Oh my God! I just read this!! See my previous post! What is WITH us????????????????

As a teenager I used to make Peanut Butter and banana sandwiches with maple Syrup. I haven't thought about those in years, but I remember loving them.

Again..just read this one! What is it with peanut butter and maple syrup!!

Mine is similar to Kindle - store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, eaten right out of the package.

I think that's the indulgence I feel most shameful about. Wait - no, the worst was frosting right out of the can...

Yep.............frosting out of a can too. Would buy it just to secretly eat it out of the tub........sometimes even putting it on ice cream............Wow this topic is a real eye opener, but glad to see I am/was not alone.

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!

      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.
