Which Question or Suggestion Are You Sick of Hearing?



Recommended Posts

I am a FOODIE. I love great food. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy finding really great restaurants. I just enjoy less of it dang it.

But, yes Julie, I'm a little tired of that one myself. (not that I'm bitter or anything) ;-)

I'm sure in the not too distant future the comment my husband will be tired of will be "I'll just share his!" :)

I love cooking. I have a huge collection of cookbooks. Weight loss surgery doesn't mean I can't enjoy food any longer. It means that I need to make every bite count.

My biggest annoyance are the people who want an exact weight amount about how much I've lost so far. "You are life half the size! How much have you loss?" And when you refuse to give them an exact amount siting that it is very personal, then they keep needling away "so was it like 100lbs?" Seriously, it's no ones business how much I have lost! I'm not doing it for their curiosity!

I told a lifelong super thin person I work with, BC she'll need to cover my medical leave requests.

With a deadpan serious face she asked, "Have you ever tried dieting?"

I am 49 years old.

I weigh 298 pounds.

Dieting? Nope, never heard of it.

(Here I am similar to you, age 46 and 286)

If you want to get rid of your stomach, just do situps/crunches (or exercise in general). Gee thanks, I've never thought of that!!! :wacko: :huh: :rolleyes:

      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.
