Tips to not eat your kids food!



Recommended Posts

So I am 11 weeks post op and I have a two and four year old who only go to nursery 1 1/2 days a week. Now I am a big fan of non processed healthy eating but of course I allow my kids to have occasional treats. When I make them meals/snacks I just automatically seem to eat some of it and it's never the extra healthy stuff it's always the crackers from the fruit and cheese plate or the buttered mash from chicken dinner or the chips from the picnic etc when I do this I am then full up so its not even really the calorie content from what I'm eating because it's not that much but it means I'm missing out on the protein/ good fats that I should be eating.

What do other parents who's children are at home do?

I have to pretend that I am allergic. If I eat that stuff, I break out in fat. Or you could save yourself the trouble and just tape it to your hips.

@@Carriejess, I am 9 days po and already have this concern. I too have a 2 & 4 year old. I know I am going thru this process to change lifestyle habits and eat better, but I have always had a piece of this, piece of that when feeding my girls. I've caught myself already in the morning when I've made them their three cheese scrambled eggs.

On my phone, the topic line read "Tips to Not Eat Your Kids".

I was expecting a completely different post!

      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?
