Can't believe what I have just done!

[Peterborough Guy]

So here I am post op on the liquid diet, and the smell of bbq's all day smelt so good, so I decided to fire ours up.

There I was cooking sausages, chops and chicken breast, dished it up, and then went and got myself a yogurt out of the fridge and sat with the family while they tucked into the bbq food.

And the best thing about it was, that I wasn't even bothered about the food, although I couldn't eat a whole yogurt, how bizarre, before I would of had 2 or 3 chops, a few sausages and chicken, and probably go back for seconds lol

WOW! I would find that so tough PG... well done x

Wow well done you. I must admit even on this pre-op diet I'm not hungry and my head hungr can see temptation and I can ignore it and walk away shopping alone this weekend I brought things good for post-op not tempted by the usual things. Long may these last for us both.

I have found that the saying "mind over matter" does actually work! I haven't looked at a Krispy Kremes donut the same way as I used to!

It is quite a weird feeling....having control, never done that before! Xx

 

[preetypee]

you are doing great, keep it up. xx

Great news-well done PG

Well done you!

It still amazes me now that I'm newly post op, when I think back to the portion sizes I used to have. I'd have scoffed a couple of burgers, some sausages and tons of potato salad at barbecues in the past. Now the thought of that absolutely repulses me.
I see adverts for takeaway food like pizzas (of which i would have eaten 2 if they were buy one get one free) and I don't want them at all. There was an ad last night for the stuffed crust one and I just thought ''yuck, look at all that stodgy fat''. Half a yoghurt fills me right up now. In fact I have to make myself eat because I'm not at all hungry in this heat.
I never ever beleived I would feel this way about food. It's like being released from a prison.

Wow well done, its amazing how your brain changes, early on, unfortunately for me now I have healed it is harder to resist, but then again I am glad I can just about eat anything but in smaller portions, so I dont feel like I am missing out on anything.

Glad you are doing so well x

 

[Jrichard]

My problem is that although I no that I wouldn't enjoy the food and it would make me ill, I still find myself occasionally wanting it.:sigh:

 

[msunique]

You will always want it, unfortunately the surgery doesnt change the way your brain works lol

You are so brave, we're having a BBQ on Sunday for my son's 15th birthday and I am dreading it, because I have vowed not to drink alcohol until Xmas to give the first 6 months a fighting chance and my family are very heavy drinkers (Irish) and I used to be too, I don't know whether I'll more bothered about the not eating the food or not drinking LOL, Karen x

I'm having my first band fill on 23rd July and my friend and neighbour has invited us to her birthday BBQ on the same evening!

After the fill I believe it's soup and smoothies for three days so that's what I would call crap timing! Can't really make burger and sausage smoothies!

Hey ho.... It will be so worth it in the end!

You are doing really well
