3 Days out I realllllly felt like nachos for some reason lol, now all I actually feel like is a chicken sandwich lol. As for things I'll miss - spaghetti, I'm italian, I love it. Risotto. Fried Rice. As for mcdonalds - it'll always be a fav but my sister works at mcdonalds and told me that if I want a cheese burger just wait til she finishes and she'll make it for me lol - dunno whether I'll be able to eat it but oh well. She said she'll just grill the bun heaps and add heaps of ketchup lol, I love her. But even then I'll probably only be able to manage half of it.

It's o.k... The moron, I am, Went to my fav deli yesterday for the best consumme on the east coast.. 1st time I ever went in there and didn't buy the best pickles on the east coast.... Hubby went to BK last night, So as*hole me, decided I can chew the pickles from his burger to get the flavor and then spit it out.... Well out of reflex, I swollowed a nano-chunk and had hell to pay alll night. So, my advice, FIGHT IT! just close your eyes and pretend. The pain is not worth it!

I'm 4 days post-op and decided to visit the "confessional" (like on reality tv shows?) again.

I'm not struggling or feeling desperate or hungry, but I had a wistful thought today and briefly mourned my ability to eat frosted strawberry pop tarts.... and cinnamon/sugar Auntie Anne pretzels with cream cheese dipping sauce.

You will be able to eat a quarter of a toasted pop-tart in a few weeks, as for the pretzel.... yeah thats a tuffy. BUT My sister who is the weight watchers goddess, has a recipe for cream cheese dipping sauce thats got like 1 gram of fat & no sugar!! and you can not tell the difference! so when I have the strength (as in major food weakness to overcome) to get that recipe I'll share it

I'm a comfort food type of gal. Deserts don't bother me at all. My number one food that I will miss is mac n' cheese. I hope I will eventually be able to enjoy it in extreme moderation. Number 2 missed food will be Friday night pizza.

Did someone say we can't have spicy???? Say it isn't so. I love hot sauce on just about everything. I will miss that severly if I'm not able to have it!!

      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.
