What was your favorite food before surgery??



Recommended Posts

My favorite food was Pasta and meatballs and sasuage.. I could eat that every night.. I love pasta prob partly how I put so much weight on..

So tonight for dinner what did my family want?? Pasta and meatballs.. ugh. And bisquits.. so I of course made it for my family. Tasted a bit of my meatballs and some sauce and that was it. And thought if this was before my surgery I prob would have definitely had two big plates of that for dinner ...

What was some of ur down fall foods ???

My downfall was too much food, and some anxiety eating. My favorite foods might still be favorite foods. I have no desire to eat like before, but I refuse to give food the power of being an enemy. I don't want to be 'good' or 'bad'. I liked Pasta, but 'meh' not a super favorite and don't want it now at all. I have had a few bites of foods I like a lot, but nothing overboard. It has to be prime quality or I won't try it - no one wants a casserole lol, no one wants store bought cake with nasty shortening frosting. Be picky, be worth it.

2feelingreat.....have you tried the Protein Pasta? They're made with chickpeas and lentils (and a little wheat, but mostly chickpeas and lentils).

Lots of protein, fewer carbs, might be a good compromise once in a while?

Not sure it's good to fantasize about our favorite unhealthy foods while we're trying to focus on changing our diets! LOL :D

pizza. I’d have it 3-4 days a week with jalapeño Cheetos. It was a nasty habit, and I didn’t quit it until I had to start my pre-op liquid diet!

I have and it's caused me to try all sorts of things like eggplant lasagna. Turns out I don't like eggplant lol.
Next up: pizza with cauliflower crust

What WASNT my favorite food was my problem. My favorite “food” was the buffet line, any buffet will do. That was my downfall.

Why not just have a little spaghetti squash with the sauce and meatball?

Before surgery my fav foods were lasagna, carrot cake, and zaxby's buffaloed blue salad. Hoping i can get the salad again in a few weeks with the grilled chicken and just add the wing sauce.

Shame there isn't a bariatric buffet for us. You,could be issued a disposable teeny,tiny spoon, small plate with curved sides, a tablespoon,and a 1/4 cup measure. I'd call it Babe's Bariteria. Babes cause sometimes in the journey we feel like sitting down and crying. Bariteria well why not for what it is. We could even have Protein clears and shakes in a big bowl,of ice for the early inductees and,pre surgs.What do all you think?

      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.
