Popeyes!

"red Beans and rice didn't miss her" (me).

That made me laugh... How often do we have a Sir Mix-A-Lot reference on BariatricPal?

This used to be one of my favorite workout songs (along with Back That A** Up) but now when it comes on I feel ridiculous because I completely lost my butt. Now I look a bit "knock kneed" but heck, my waist is the smallest it has even been so I'll take it. "Little in the middle" Check! "But she's got much back." Not so much...

Oh my lord was that funny... We went from Sir Mix-A-Lot to Juvenile. Sir Mix-A-Lot seems to be a little before your day...

You can always listen through your ear buds and nobody knows what you are listening to.

Swapping out a booty for a tiny waist line sounds like a winner. So you may never be "36-24-36", but you weren't 5'3", so what the heck...

Congrats on your weight loss!

I can eat a very small spoonful of rice. I will say before surgery I did not like spicey at all. Now I love it.

Weird!

You caught me. I was only 7 when that song was released. But I also listen to music from the 70's and 80's (thanks, Mom and Dad!) But very true about the height. At 5'7 I'll never have a 24 inch waist. Maybe 28 after my Tummy Tuck.

I had a spoonful the other night when the kids ate Chinese with no ill effects. I wasn't really interested in it, so I didn't eat anymore; I just wanted to see if it would do anything.

I haven't really had any issues eating anything thankfully. Dense Protein like pork chops can be rough if I'm not careful.

Ugh! I LOVE Popeyes chicken

Thanks for the tip.

I just started pureed and went to Popeyes for Mashed potatoes...took me an hour to get them down but totally worth it.

[CincyDave 3]

Wow. Are they new? Last time I went to Popeyes there was only fried options.

[Blue1213 122]

I'm not sure if they are new or not. But they are listed on their website. When I went I didn't really see them on the menu but I asked for the blackened chicken tenders and they had them.

They are really good. Give 'em a try. No biscuit though!

Glad Freud is not monitoring this. Amazing how feelings of sexual attraction creep into our food discussions. Not pointing fingers (nor licking fingers salaciously) at anyone, just noticing a trend.

I had an eating disorder therapist who was convinced almost all of our eating issues come down to se. I think there is a lot to that theory.

Especially when it involves whipped cream, ice or edible underwear.

I'm not sure that I've even tried more than a bite or two of rice since my surgery to know how it affects me. Rice was never like my favorite food or anything so it's one of the easy ones for me to stay away from without really trying. Anything that I would have had served over rice pre-op I just eat by itself now and don't miss the rice at all.

You ever try the cauliflower rice from Trader Joe's? I picked some up this weekend and will be trying it out this week.

I have heard good things about it, but I haven't felt the need to try it. Since I don't miss rice, I don't really need a rice substitute in my diet. I feel the same way about Pasta. I don't really miss it. I have tried some high Protein Pasta post-op, but I'm better off just eating the veggies and sausage and skipping the pasta altogether anyway.
