I think I'm gonna puke!!

Well, not really.  But, I went to breakfast with some people from work today.  They chose Cracker Barrell.  What a BAD choice.  I did not overeat by any stretch of the word, but I think everything was cooked in some kind of grease.  Including the egg beaters.  My poor belly hurts.  In fact, I almost wish I would get sick.  It just feels like there is a brick in my belly.

Now, I will say the people I was eating with REALLY ate.  As I was sitting there, it occurred to me that I "used" to eat like that all the time.

I am so glad I had this surgery.  My life has really changed for the better,  I look better and feel great.

I can't wait for this crap to leave my system.

I've never been a fan of Cracker Barrell, although everyone in my family is abig fan of that place.  Well, I admit, I do like their fried apples, but I haven't been there since WLS.

Frankly, I can't think of anything on their menu that is WLS/diet friendly.  What did you have?

Egg beaters, no cheese.  Just a few bites.  One bite of hash brown casserole (I think that did me in).  A wedge of orange.

That's it.

Kim I know that feeling...............I usually curl up in a ball till it passes. I can not get sick or make my self get sick like others I know can. Hope it passes quick for you

I'm gonna lay down now.  My bed looks so comfy.  I know I'm going to be hugging my body pillow.

Kim,

I just wanted to congrad you on your success, you have done a phenominal job.  I hope I can be as successful as you when my time comes.

Thanks!  Really, the only thing I would have changed is having it sooner.  I really feel great.  But, I would not recommend Cracker Barrel.

LOVE that avatar!! 

Kim,
That's the funny part about wls.  We will always think like obese people.  They operated on our stomachs, not our heads.  As you said, you sit there and realize what you were able to consume in one setting before surgery and you're amazed.  A lot of times I still order as though I'm 365 pounds and start eating as though I'm going to finish.  Then reality sets in and its time for the waitress to bring one of those take-out containers for the rest of my meal.  That's one thing you NEVER would find in my fridge before surgery - leftovers!  It's a good feeling, though, to know that I am still limited in my portions.  And, you're right, you do look good in your pictures.

grease and i are not friends. i get so sick if i eat too much fat. especially greasy fat. just drink extra water and hope that the next time you are asked to go somewhere, they pick a place w/ healthy options!
