What food do you miss the most?
I miss the joy of eating meat. Grilled steak, barbeque chicken, juicy hamburgers, and the like. I can barely eat two ounces of meat at a time and most of those times I end up wishing I hadn't bothered because I get the slick, sick feeling in the back of my throat. I get my protein from other sources now.
I agree.. most of the time I think... whats the use I am just going to end up in bed moaning... Like I just cant eat an egg it has to have mashed potatos with it.. or cant have pork chops, tuna.. chicken wery little very moist and still scares me.. I end up most of the time hurting.. So I eat cheese and drink milk alot!! I h ave chewed and spit some steak though.. just a few peices.. then even the juices get me queasy.. I like ham and have no problem with it so far.
Well the melting ladies are having breakfast together this morning before hitting the goodwill store it is 1/2 price day... and I am in 18's right now so must start finding some 16s to melt into.

Nothing. I can pretty much eat everything in smaller portions. I choose not to eat red meat but I don't miss it. I do turkey burgers, turkey chili, turkey or chicken reuben. That seems to digest just fine. Bread is hard on me. Always gets stuck or fills me up too fast so I usually take just a couple bites and thats is it. I guess maybe some stuff with regular sugar but only in special cases. For example I was at a shower the other day that had all these South African deserts. I really wanted to try them but I didn't dare. Once I'm at goal though I might have a taste.
I miss bread. No sandwiches, hamburger buns, etc...
I also miss pasta, hash browns, tortillas, and rice.
All of these things just HURT if I try to eat them.
Of course, I realize that not eating them is helping me lose weight! I had WLS on April 5 at 315#. Today I'm at 238 (-77); which is not stellar, but respectable!
I can eat a lot of sugar before I dump, which I wish wasn't the case. I tolerate fat less well, but basically a few bites of anything won't get to me... I know I'm lucky in this regard.
Melody, I had surgery the same day as you. I weighed 345lbs. I now weigh 246lbs. Went from a size 32 to a 22. I can pretty much eat anything in small portions but I couldn't eat pasta. Someone told me to try angel hair pasta and I could eat it.Barilla even has angel hair with added protein. So yummy in pasta salad. You might want to try it. See you lighter. Joanne
