Damn it!

I decided to Celebrate tonight, being through with two of my three comprehensive exams, so I got take-away from Outback (yes, I know, celebrating with food is how I got fat, but I still wanted a million fucking calories, sue me). So, I'm sitting here, having finished my french onion Soup (very good, btw) and nawed on a few bites of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and I try a few bites of my blooming onion (is it TOO obvious that I like onions?). It doesn't taste like I remember it! I used to LOVE blooming onions, even though they're like a million and a half calories per onion. Damn it, I wanted to pig out (or at least, pig out as much as a banded person can) on my former favorite bad habit, and I can't because it doesn't taste right! :angry

I know what you mean--I tried a tiny bite of my son's fried food the other day and blech! The taste just doesn't appeal to me any more! I think that's good news, right?

I guess. I just wish my taste buds hadn't decided to change right when I was craving the yummy fried stuff. :think

I had pcs of the blooming onion the other day for my mother's b-day dinner. Not really blech, but I didn't eat 1/2 of it like I used to. I had about 2 slices, and then ate 1/2 the fish.

My friend ordered a soda the other day, and I got Water. He asked if I missed it, and I looked at his and said no.

And I meant it!

I love my weight loss more than any food I've ever eaten...and eaten...then gone back for 3rds....and then gotten dessert, and then went home and had snacky salty food to balance out the sweet stuff...etc.

Heck, yeah! That's what I'm hoping for, maybe even more so than actual weigh loss -

Hey, I won't sue you! life is too short, so eat a little, live a little!

You know, I wish my taste changed or I couldn't find food as good as before, but not me.... everything tastes good and the same to me as before and my mind wants to eat non-stop..... but I keep trying..... darn it!:angry

I feel ya Lauren.

I use to have binge nights, and I still can't pinpoint the triggers.

I can think of one instance post-band where I was trying to indulge.. appetizer, meal, AND dessert (applebee's to-go)

When I went to eat it, I got through a few bites of appetizer and was filling up..so I jumped right to the dessert. Wasn't quite like the 'good ol days' of 2 Entrees, 1-2 appetizers and a few desserts.. I disgust myself sometimes.

Started to have a binge night a few days ago. Got a HUGE Dove chocolate bar and a huge container of Whoppers. Ate one square of the candy bar and 3 whoppers and took the rest to my neighbor. She's about 18 and a size zero.

I hope she eats it all. Nobody has a right to be a size zero without a band.

Ditto. Malted milk anything is puke-worthy. Give me a bag of Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles over those anyday, and I'll put an entire bag away. That's why I do not go down the chip aisle, ever.

I dunno, I could have probably eaten the whole box of whoppers.

Desserts, chips, snack foods.. no problem eating them all. My typical binge was never just junk food (well, besides fast food). I liked eating a lot of food foods from places.. or like 4 burgers from McDonalds.. all different kinds. Weee.

      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.
