Who is glad the hog feed is over???



Recommended Posts

I am sooooooooooooo glad the hog feed that the Fourth of July is, is over!!!!! I has a blast up until the time to eat then it all hits me!!!! Then everyone acts like it is their last supper and start shoving food in their mouths until they have a look of pain on their faces!!!! Going back in the line two, three sometimes four times!!!!!!!! GOD, it gets old watching this!!!!! My family and extended family went to the resevoir and pulled kids around on the tubes all day!!! I didn't drink enough and just wanted to drink my dinner, but knew I had better eat something, so I had a small amount and didn't even eat that!!! Makes me sick to watch the amount of food people mindlessly shove in their mouths and the QUALITY of that food.

I stayed home and avoided all celebrations just because I knew it would kill me to be near it. I've just been banded two weeks and I LOVE ribs, hot dogs, etc. I knew I could never handle it. It's bad because the yearly tasting celebration is going on in Detroit (fairly close) and I love going. Alas, I won't be attending this year. I'm also avoiding watching the news because of it. I did happen to catch a couple of stories last night and was amazed at the amount of food people had on their plates. Two weeks ago I'd have thought absolutely nothing of eating a whole rack, and possibly a rack and a half of ribs by myself. Now I just dream of only a taste and I'd be happy.

and soon even the thoughts of a taste might leave your thoughts. I know I thought pizza was going to be the end all for me. I LOVE PIZZA!!!!!!!! We used to order two family size just so I would make sure and get my 8-9 slices at dinner then 5-6 as midnight snack. I ate that stuff like it was leaving the planet in the next hour!!! I have had it once since being banded....one of the first solid foods that I ate...and it had no power over me....NO

<p>I did OK. A hot dog (no bun), a bit of potato salad, and a small sliver of cake. I should have skipped the cake, but hey, you gotta live a little right? In the past, I would have eaten 2 hot dogs with Buns, a hamburger with bun, tons of potato salad, baked Beans, Desserts, blah blah blah. The band is a gooooood thing!!!</p>

Ahhhh the rib thing. I keep thinking I will be able to eat some if I really chew. No dice. Ribs will make me PB and be in unbearable pain!

I can eat some pizza though. I used to eat about 4 or 5 slices, easy. Now I try to eat only one or maybe 2. Fortunately it satisfies. I'm still shocked at not being able to eat more pizza. Yes, thank heavens for the Band!!!!

We had steaks cooked on the grill. The problem was that my gas grill wouldn't work. So I got $16 worth of propane and hooked it up. It worked. When it came time to cook the steaks, it wouldn't work. I beat it with a wrench and knocked off a lot of rush, but it refused to work. Luckily my friend had a little charcoal grill so she got it, some charcoal and some lighter Fluid and we cooked the steaks. They were wonderful. Very tender so I could eat mine. Of course, I beat the crap out of them with a meat mallet before we cooked them. I now have a little charcoal grill that my friend donated to me, some charcoal and some lighter fluid. I may have steaks again before long assuming I can afford them. I gave the gas grill away and am determined to go low tech in future.

Well normally Green, a good steak stays in your system for days and days, but in your case.....:rolleyes

Bitter you positively crack me up!:heh:

I'm slated to cook a big chunk 'o meat for the fam tomorrow, either in the oven or on the grill. I had fully planned to make the barbeque sauce recipe posted earlier, but didn't get the Laphriong Scotch that it requires. I don't know how critical that ingredient is, but I am under the impression that it is one of the things that makes the sauce so special. :hungry:

I went up north yesterday (I'm there now) so I wouldn't be tempted. Thank GOD Traverse City is about 90 minutes from me up here, or I'd be at the the damned Cherry Festival pigging out on cherry pie and cherry ice cream and cherry jam and cherries!

My DH husband asked me the other day "So I guess we won't be eating RIBS at Montana's Steakhouse anymore eh?"

I used to love going Wed.nights it was ALL-you=can EAT RIB night... I usually had one whole rack then order anothe couple of ribs, then another..... leave the baked potato and side veggies and just eat the meat....

OMG... Well, I gues those days will be over and besides, I've already EATEN a lifetime of Ribs... LOL

I am sure tht I'll be able to handle a small pork chop (2-3 oz) with a bit of BBQ Sauce on top sometime in the future..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
