Auto Eating



Recommended Posts

Wow - I've only been banded since Tues 16th, but I had a close call today. My 4 yr old grandson was visiting with me and he wanted a snack. I gave him some crackers and Peanut Butter and raisins. I ALMOST popped a raisin in my mouth without even thinking !!!

I'm going to have to be very careful until I get used to thinking more about anything I put in my mouth!

YIKES! :omg:

Topdownbug,

Does you name mean that you also are a VW Beattle owner. That is so funny as we may have a lot in common and I am one day behind you. I know what you mean. I was fixing a salad for my DH and came so close. It scared me when I started to pop a walnut into my mouth. That is why I also needed a band for my head.

I wish you well.

Judy - I sure do have a VW Beetle - she's a New Beetle Convertible - so her license plate says 'TOP DOWN'. We are close in Band dates, we're also close in age. .. and ...

my name is also

Judy :clap2:

No chance you live in Ohio is there ? ;)

OOOOO I have a beetle too. A white one named Marsha! I love her. (Shhh...I am getting a convertible one soon. However, I don't know if I will be able to part with Marsha, so I might have to keep her too. My 10 year old wants to drive her when she becomes 16.) I love my BUG!

Nice Cookie! My Topdownbug is my third New Beetle. I am quite attached to them, but when the convertibles came out I had to have one immediately - so I did. Then when the new colors came out - I had to have a different one - so I do. This little beauty is only a year old and she only gets driven in the nice weather so she only has 6000 miles on her so far. I try not to look at the new colors when they come out. I need to get more equity in this one before I make another change.

They are so much fun !! I feel like I'm 17 when I'm in my BUG !

Enjoy yours too!

Judy

Oh Judy, although I live near Greensboro, NC and I am orginally from Alabama, I can not believe how much we have in common. For example, I am now on my 3rd New Beetle and totally understand about the color issue. I am currently driving a 2006 harvest moon hardtop that I just love. But the new is wearing on it :) so I might join you and Cookie and go to a convertiable next. WE are buggie sisters.

Hey, I too have a convertable VW Beetle. 2006 Standard shift, "mellow yellow". I just love it. It's fun, and I have to tell you..........I LOOK GOOD IN IT! It goes well with my long red hair!

Well, I don't have a bug but can relate to the Auto Eating. Thing about it is you will know when you do something wrong. After 8 months I get a stomache just from looking at a sub sandwich with all the bread!! Just like anything else - there is always a learning curve!!

I'm trying like crazy to attach some photos to this post, but everytime I do they are way too big! What's the trick?

Anyway - Judy - you and I seem to have a lot in common! Babs and Cookie and Judy - maybe we should start a BugLovers Thread?

I'll keep trying to attach photos of my Bugs - they are Harvest Moon w/black top. Shadow Blue w/tan top and Reflex Silver (hardtop w/sunroof of course)

:)

Ladies, I LOVE your bugs!!!! Pictures of Marsha will be coming soon. She is getting a "makeover". She was in a fender bender a few weeks ago. I am getting a red convertible. It makes me smile just thinking about it. Imagine my skinny bum driving around in a red convertible...BEEP BEEP!

      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.
