Family eating your food!



Recommended Posts

Do you get mad when someone eats your food, when there is plenty of other food for them? I am talking adults here not kids. I have very little to choose from they can eat anything. It feels degrading, like my needs are unimportant.

If you aren't already, I'd grab a sharpie and start labeling all of the stuff that is yours with your name. It might not stop them, but at least they won't have plausible deniability, "oh, I didn't know that was just for you." And maybe they'll feel a tinge of guilt when they do it.

IDK. What kind of "food" is special for you?

I just eat the same stuff as the rest of the household...cook the same meals, etc. And no one likes PP that I use sometimes in my coffee now, except me. :) Otherwise it's all fair game. Can't imagine trying to keep stuff separate?

I do that. They hid the Sharpie. I got another one!

I have things like low-sugar marinara that they've used by accident, sugar-free ice-cream, my fairlife milk, etc. I don't care that they eat it, just that it's not there when I need/want it.

Why not just make your life simple and buy all the same stuff? If they will eat SF ice cream, buy enough for the house, same with the marinara and Fairlife Milk--FLM is about the same $$ and comes in similar sizes--and ain't nobody need marinara with 12-15 g of carbs in it if you've found a good one they will eat for low/no sugar. I just think segregation makes your life harder and more stressful--clearly not theirs. LOL.

I am still soft food no processed carbs like bread or Pasta no sugar no beef nothing crunchy. No uncooked vegtables. I eat alot of chicken and turkey. I am on this diet until 6 months after my surgery. I found this stuff in the freezer section wildscape cilantro lime chicken. I figured it would he 2 days of food for me. It's hard to cook for me and not waist food. It's only me and my significant other in the house. I can't eat anything he eats. He has tons of food chooses in the house. I even picked him up some stuff at the store. He said what's that! When he saw it. I said it's my meals for the next 2 days. He said no it's your one time meal now and the rest is mine. Then when I was done with what I could eat he said let me taste it. He took more bites then I was able to eat and I said your not really going to eat that are you? He said yes and preceded to eat it. Then he acted like I was being selfish because it upset me. This happens a lot. I hope I am not being greedy...but he has other food to eat. Now I have to go back to the store.

I'd feel poor and pitiful if I had to cook decadent stuff for Mr. F and then I had to live on chicken and turkey. He eats what I eat--one set of food--limited treats to keep us both on track. We're having salmon and broccoli for dins. I'm sure he'd rather a steak or burger but oh **** oh dear--I'm the cook and sux to be him! 😳

We may eventually get to that point at my house when it's just hubby and me, but for the time being, with 5 adults going to the grocery store and picking up whatever, our pantry and fridges are stocked to bursting. It's totally different if you control the food being brought into the house.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
