what food do you miss?

I am currently missing my fried egg sandwiches with a glass of milk. I've never been much of a milk drinker (I was raised by wolves...), but there is just something about the combination of this sandwich and a glass of milk....

I miss going out for All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi. That was a regular for me. I haven't even tried sushi since banding though because I've seen too many people PB on the seaweed, and I really love my rolls.

OK..I miss Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwiches and Chili Relano's at Tia's. I miss doughy biscuits and bread and All carbs. I am afraid to try breads. I did try a flour tortilla as an enchilada and pb'd twice off of it. So I will pass on my beloved breads...sniff sniff

Pizza!! Some days it drives me crazy how much I crave it, and the kids have been begging to go out for it, I will have to break down and take them to pizza Ranch and let them have their fix while I dine on salad!! But I still wouldn't trade my band!

chicken buffalo wings, and alfredo fetticino, I know eventually I'll be able to have some pastas, but the nicely warmed toasted garlic bread. hmmm... oh well, but I'd rather keep the 33 lbs off that I've lost.

I miss bread. I was a really big bread eater. Sandwiches, rolls,light bread, biscuits you name the bread and I ate it. But I don't miss the 65lbs I have lost. Some trade offs are just worth it. I still take a bite or two of a crusty dinner roll but I don't eat the whole basket any more!!!!

I miss fresh bread, the gourmet selection at the bakery. All the fancy ones you can't buy prewrapped. (Three cheese, garlic and herb, pane bread) I walk by the bakery just to smell the fresh bread now. I'm only 3 months post-op so trying bread scares me to death. I'm not ready to push that envelope yet. I did have a flour tortilla wrap yesterday for lunch and it was delicious. I had to remind myself to chew and eat very slowly but the taste was amazing. Silly how a normal flour tortilla took on such a significant taste for me.

I miss my morning 2 pieces of toast and snow peas with dinner. Now I could still eat the toast but choose not too. As for the snow peas, no matter how much I try and destring it, the still get stuck!

I was never a huge soda drinker, but I miss being able to just chug an ice cold coke!

I miss being able to bite into a full sandwich and/or burger. Having them wrapped in lettuce and eating them with a knife and fork just isn't the same! There is this place in Utah called Crown Burger and they make these AMAZING Pastrami burgers. I have already told my husband that if/when I get pregnant and need to have my band loosened, it is the first place I'm going!

I know what you mean, its the the fact that we actually ate some of the stuff, but that the choice to be able to was taken away but us ourselves..

On the way back to work,( I talk to God alot talking thru my lifes situations ) and he always throws words in my head and he threw the word accountability in today. Before we were not accountable to no one for the food we ate but ourselves,(but we didn't care/worry about it) this lapband is forcing us to become accountable now, and we might be accepting but not liking yet. Hold the burger high for the rest of us when you do get to eat it girl!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
