Which Food Did (Or Will) You Miss the Most?



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I just miss being able to eat. It is hard to explain, but when I have had a bad day, sometimes all I want is to order ten mcdoubles and a large fry and a 20 piece nugget and sit on the couch and eat it all....I guess I was an emotional eater. I do not regret the surgery at all though.

Ramen and popcorn. I literally have refused to go out to the movies since my surgery (2 months ago) cause just the smell of the popcorn makes me want to cry cause I want it sooooo badly. Ramen used to be one of my main comfort foods so I miss that like crazy.

I am 11 months out and can eat almost anything I want - just in moderation. Mostly I sample something off my hubby's plate (dinner and/or dessert) and I'm good to go. I just need the taste and 3 M&M Vitamins a day for the chocolate fix. I do miss drinking Water with my meals, a lot! Sometimes I wish I could eat more of something just because it is so good, almost mourn it, but that's where this all started so I'm extremely grateful for my intake abilities and stay with bounds. I've learned to only put on my plate that which I can eat and pack the rest away before I even get started so I don't over do it, especially when eating out. I order the takeout box with my dinner order. I've learned to like left-overs, something I never hardly did before, and enjoy the ability to spread the cost of a nice meal out over 2-3 meals. WLS is life-changing, but sooooo worth it, love the new me.

I miss pizza! I'm too scared to eat the crust, but I have "skinned" the toppings off of a slice, which was okay - but just not the same :)

Diet Pepsi Max and french fries. I live where the summers are brutal and I can't drive past a Q-T without thinking about a Diet Pepsi with a shot of cherry flavoring. I broke a 20 yr addiction for this surgery. But it is still there, every day.

I'm new both to this site and had the surgery 11 days ago. I am prepared for this problem. Expect that I will try a bite of the forbidden fruit from time to time but I'm sure any pain will stop me. Right now I'm still on liquids and I transition to the "baby food" in three days. What I know I'll miss most and know I just can't eat more than a mouthful will be fried belly clams, any good bread, and Pasta. Have heard that Pasta can be the worst for most people post op. Bread I heard is a possibility if it is a small amount and toasted. I've been using myfitnesspal.com and that tends to keep me on the straight and narrow. All I have to do is think of the numbers on the scale and it brings me back to reality. This test will be for life and I plan to pass it with flying colors.

I used to miss soda, but don't any more. The thought of it actually makes me sick now. I don't miss sweets or chips. I do eat them occasionally, but prefer fruit now. I don't ever deprive myself.

Chipotle. I don't see myself spending 12 bucks for a burrito bowl that I could not imagine eating even 3-4 bites of. It's ok I'm not sad or anything, I just miss eating it with warm tortilla chips, extra sour cream and a grapefruit izzy.

      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.
