theresa2mum 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Reading this thread is not helping my pre band weight loss attempts :laugh . Thankfully I don't even know what some of those things are! Oh and Zoe, where I live in Australia (it can vary) we call your crisps and french fries both chips. As Parvathi said, we sometimes say 'hot' chips meaning fries. BUT THEY ARE ALL YUMMY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted August 28, 2005 Yeah I actually think half the pleasure in some of those naughty foods is cramming them in fast. I find if I tell myself to slow down, I often cant even be bothered eating them. chips are meant to be eaten by the handful, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenB 0 Posted August 28, 2005 ICE CREAM!! I've only had it a few times. Unfortunately the band does nothing to restrict it AND even worse, a Baskin Robbins is opening about 1/4 mile from my house! My all-time favorite flavor is from there, and I won't even mention it. The other stuff I love is really hard to eat (cake, pastries, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penni60 45 Posted August 28, 2005 Karen said the BAD WORD. ICE CREAM. I need it. I want it. Must have it. LOL!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecrazy 2 Posted August 28, 2005 Definitely, my biggest food weakness is ice cream. Confession: before banding, I ate probably 2 cups every night! And I'd throw in a Sonic Blast (ice cream blended with M&Ms) about 3-4 times a week, if possible! The other weakness was bowls--huge bowls--of Cereal. Now, if I eat cereal at all, it's about 10 Frosted mini-wheats in a little tiny bowl I used to serve Condiments like pickles or something in! What a difference! I have eaten ice cream since the band, but it's like a 1/2 cup...and I'm satisfied! What a concept! Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divaliciousdee 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Beef Sausages!!!!! I love them spicy, mild or whatever. I love em boiled, fried , baked yum, yum. I also love Hotwings!!!! Cheesecake, Cheesecake, and more cheesecake!! Plain no toppings. Yum YUm last but not least I absolutely adore my mama's collard greens(yep I am down south yall) . This may sound healthy collards are a vegetable, but my mama puts all parts of the pig in them yyyyyummmyyyyyy. I am talking Hamhocks, pigtails(maybe I am grossing some of you out but this is my favorite dish). I also love chitterlings(chittlins'). I love everything unhealthy ....yep that's about it.

KarenB 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Loupyloo: I've been to some open AA meetings; and that's exactly what they sometimes do. When they tell their stories, they describe what they drank & took. I guess we're no different. Sorry, Penni, but ice cream is my fave. Maybe I can burn down the baskin robins they're building? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaamom 0 Posted August 28, 2005 oh how I miss Chinese food...........I have tried it once since being banded, and couldn't even get two bites of a chicken finger down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelliebelly 13 Posted August 28, 2005 Mine is chocolate ...Any type of chocolate...yummmm. Also Jess, I can still eat chips as in potato chips, but I cant eat hot chips...weird!! But good, because chips and gravy were a down fall for me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted August 28, 2005 Am I the only person in the world who cant stand ice cream? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corgi 0 Posted August 28, 2005 I never was an ice cream freak UNTIL I got the band, go figure. Since being banded I eat about 1/3 of what I use to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
