Why is it that only the junk food goes down easy?

Why is it that 12 grain bread makes me slime?

Why is it that soft boiled eggs run through a chopper hurt and hard boiled eggs the smae way dont?

Why is it whenever some one ask about your surgery they want to see the scars but when ever you offer to show some one they run away FAST?!?

Why is it that only the skinny people say your not that big?

Why is it that plain m&m's go down smooth but the cranberry juice backs up like a slums toilet.

Why is it that I am posting this thread!

Cause I like to ask why!

Stand up and be counted if some one said "your pretty in the face"!

The "skinny people" are scared of any competition, so don't want you joining their league. They are hoping you will stop losing or ... even better ... pile it all back on.

As for the junk food vs healthy stuff, let me know when you find out please. :rolleyes2:

I do have one theory why boneless chicken breasts are damn near impossible to eat...

I think it's a plot by cattle ranchers (or junk food manufacturers!) that we eat less chicken and more hamburger! Someone is trying to save those chickens!

Now as for the m&ms, that will require more research on my part, I will let you know. I have determined that chocolate Easter bunnies go down easily! Apparently, we are supposed to eat them???

I think that most of us who have searched out the lap band and have tendancies to over eat or not eat the right things fall into the trap of "if it makes us feel good then why not" I havnt eaten more than a hamuger patty amount of red meat in over a month. As for chocolate bunnies the easter bunny didnt bring much in the form of chocolate to our house this year to avoid temptation. Great thinking Easter Bunny! As i sit here and eat my morning instant fat free sugar free low carb cardboard tasting oatmeal i think and wonder what the future holds. I also sit here and ask why lol. Whats easy isnt good and whats hard is heroic so I am going to prepare my meals in that way.

Lets see if I know the answers to any of these, I love to ask why as well!!!

Why is it that only the junk food goes down easy?- I think it is the fat and or sugar components that melt easily in your mouth and stomach...maybe just a WAG

Why is it that 12 grain bread makes me slime?- it expands as soon as it touches liquid or spit?!

Why is it that soft boiled eggs run through a chopper hurt and hard boiled eggs the smae way dont?-soft boiled eggs are sticky..?!

Why is it whenever some one ask about your surgery they want to see the scars but when ever you offer to show some one they run away FAST?!?- never had that happen but I dont have a lot of ppl outside my family that know about my surgery.

Why is it that only the skinny people say your not that big? bc they dont want to make you feel worse about yourself even though theyre thinking "yeah standing by him/her makes me look even skinnier, hell yeah!"

Why is it that plain m&m's go down smooth but the cranberry juice backs up like a slums toilet.-??????

Why is it that I am posting this thread!-cuz! LMAO

This is so funny to me cause every one seems to know what I am ranting about. I found out tonight that mustard has no calories nor sugar or fat so my wife is guarding it to stop me from chugging the whole damn bottle of frenches yellow mustard. She dosnt know about pickles lol

If we cant smile about the journey we are on we may go insane

Yeah, I know about this one. I can no longer have anything cold. I try, and then it comes back up or for the next five minutes I have to spit out my own saliva. I have to have my drinks room temperature from now on.:blink:

I've never had a thin person not support my efforts to lose weight. Since I plan (hope!) to be a thin/thinner person one day, I don't want to slag on them too much.

      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.
