What Y'all Think-V



Recommended Posts

Earlier this week I had something happen that made me think. I decided that I would try Subway for the first time post op. I knew two things going in 1) just get a six inch , as if I could finish even that, and 2) get a Soup as a side, I have learned that chips are my downfall. In an attempt to lessen the carb load I got flat bread. I walked in and I place my order for a six inch veggie max sandwich. The sandwich artist, as I think they are called, asked me if I wanted another sandwich. I said no and then he asked again and I gave him the same answer. Now this individual did not ask anyone else in line if they wanted additional sandwiches, so I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is because of my size. I am 70lbs down, but I know I am still heavy. Some may say do not take it that way. I can see that, but just stick with if for nothing else the topic of this post. By the way, before I get "those" type of post. I was not distraught over the situation. I know what I am doing to be a better me. It does not matter what a stranger my think or perceive.

Have you had a situation like the above happen to you? Did it make you want to scream, "Hey, I am doing something about my problem!"? How did you handle it?

No, I don't think I have ever been aware of being singled out like that.

I do know that food service people, fast food people are required to upsell people. Would you like fries with that? Would you like to make it a meal with a drink and chips? and my all time favorite is when I used to order a Diet Coke and a salad and they would ask, would you like a hot apple pie with that?

By the way, where was your Protein? When I have eaten at someplace like Subway, I just get the insides of the sandwich. I usually go for the tuna salad and cheese in a cup and then get them to load up on toppings in a cup.

@@Inner Surfer Girl The tuna in a cup sounds great! I have only done Subway once, and I got a chopped salad... but the cup idea sounds ideal for us.

      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.
