Topic: RE: What did you eat: Monday?
I've been sick lately so yesterday all I ate was a couple crackers with peanut butter and then 1/2 cup pinto beans. Even less on Sunday. Good news is I lost 5 pounds!
Today is more normal though.

Topic: RE: I don't like pizza anymore!
Yeah, I still dream about pizza but when I actually get it, it's not all that great. But no food is all that great to me right now (even meat and veggies). Well, grilled veggies have been tasting great lately.
Topic: RE: Help! Anyone stuggling with eating?
About two months after surgery I was getting sick from the smell of food. I could smell the flour in food and potatoe chips I could smell the oil. Fast food places were the worse, I could smell the old grease and processed foods. I never said anything I thought it was normal.
Just thinking about certain food I would get sick and feel like I would throw up. It lasted daily for about 2 months, now its just here and there I smell food strongly.

Topic: RE: I don't like pizza anymore!
I can't eat it anymore either. And, I have noticed that I like spicier foods more.
As for the meat and vegs, I'm with you!
Topic: RE: I don't like pizza anymore!
Chinese food. Even if I'm having a little bit it just doesn't taste at all good to me anymore. Makes my wife grumpy because we used to order it a couple of times a month and now once every other month is all we do.
Topic: RE: What did you eat: Monday?

S: 8 club crackers with cheese
L: 3oz. tuna salad on crackers and cheese

Topic: I don't like pizza anymore!
Pizza was my absolute favorite food before surgery. I could eat an entire small supreme pizza from the pizza shop by myself! I've been trying it every once in a while the last couple of months, and I've decided it's just not worth it. I'd rather have some meat and cooked vegetables. How's that for a switch? Does anyone else notice their tasted have changed? What don't you like anymore?

Topic: RE: Family Togetherness. Who needs it?
It's good to know we all have weird families. We had T-giving at my mother's house. We ate at 1:00 and the minute we were finished, everybody except my family and our neighbor got up and left! Didn't even say thank you, offer to clean up, or stay for conversations. HOW RUDE! My mom goes, "Must be their mothers didn't raise them right." Now, this is funny because my brother and his family were the main culprits. I felt bad for my mother. She did a lot of work to get ready for the holiday and everyone was so ungracious and ungrateful!

Hey Nancy!!!
I am so glad to see you back again. We really missed you. I hope that you had a blessed Thanksgiving.
I wish I could help as well, but I am having a lot of funny problems lately. Most days I can eat and graze and graze and eat. That scares me, but lately, just since Thanksgiving, I am having problems anything more than maybe one meal a day. I eat a WLS "normal" amount and then just can't eat the rest of the day. I eat a meal around noon and then really don't feel like eating the rest of the day. My head says "Let's Eat", but my pouchie poo says "In your dreams sweethear!!" I wish I could find a happy medium right now.
Please call the clinic if you haven't already. It is always better to be safe rather tahn sorry. Take care of you hon, if we were all there we would be we aren't so help us out and take care of yourself.
((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
