Fighting Family for Your Right to Eat Healthy



Recommended Posts

I am on the pre op diet now. But as things progress into the different stages I know I will have to fight my family members off my food. They will eat anything and everything. We have a lot of fend for yourself days in our house when food gets low. When there is no primary food left, they will set eyes on my diet food. Once thats gone they move on to whatever food shows up. Which is usually something I can't eat. So now they have eaten all MY food, and then they find other food that I cant eat. Now and I am thrown off my dietary plans. And its either dont eat, or eat things Iam not supposed to.They are doing it now and I am only on pre op. Lucky me they can't drink the Robard, but my SF Jello, and Soup broths I have to damn near hide. Anybody else have these issues?

You must have teenagers in the house...

Honestly, I think the only thing you can do is sit them all down and make them understand that you are doing this for your health, not for fun. And while you do understand that they are hungry monsters, they need to leave something for momma bear. And seeing they enjoy broth and Jello soooooo much, maybe that's all that will be allowed into the house from now on. No more pizza, chips, soda, etc. and if they don't like it, they can go to a friends house and eat.

Yup 17 year old twins and a 50+ mother. Who asked me the other day "Well since your gonna be on liquids the next 2 months does that mean we get to use most of your food stamps? I was utterly disgusted.

Ugh. @@Universoul_D Oh lord... No that does not mean they get to use most of the stamps! My understanding, is your going to progress, it's Soup now, but soon you need puréed foods. Ohhh I hear that SOME Protein shakes are covered by FS! I'm not 100% sure on this. If it has NUTRITIONAL values rather than supplemental values its covered. I would try to buy a couple and see if they pass. Those boogers can get expensive! Everyone seems old enough to make their own food and make their own money to get food. Time to lay down some law.

Yes FS does cover some. They cover Vega Proteins n Greens. Horrid stuff. And Orgain Plant base Protein powder. Great stuff I have 2 tubs hiding in a box right now. Because guess who came to me 2 weeks ago saying he wants to try Protein shakes in the morning.....

And I told mother dear that I would be needed certain food and drinks after surgery so NO, she will not get anymore of my stamps than she already gets when I buy food for the house.

I dont get much. After a couple of cans of Protein powder and maybe a couple of cases of Soups there's a little left for them to get stuff for the house. Thats only about 2 weeks work of food. And that's being generous. I'm cashing out the rest of the month.

I am happy that with my band I will eat less, but WHAT I eat will matter just as much if not more than how much I eat. And I am not trying to control everyones eating habits. I just need to control my own.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
