Welcome to the group April! You do have to be committed to the diet.

But the surgery gives you a little bit more control. You can't indulge

or you'll get sick!

I was tested today. We had a luncheon for work at the country club.

Fried chicken, ham in some sort of sweet glaze, carrots in what seemed

like some sort of glaze, green beans, bread, cheese cake, coconut cake,

squash casserole, salad, pasta salad, and mashed potatoes. I had 2

carrots (baby carrots), a couple bites of green beans, a few bites of

ham, a couple bites of the squash casserole, a few bites of chicken

(with the skin peeled off), and a couple bites of mashed potatoes. I

was happy w/ that. I was full. :-) I was worried about what I would

eat; but it turned out fine. I didn't over eat. In what time it took

me to eat what little I ate everyone else had woofed down the salad, the

meal & their dessert!!

Thanks for the welcome. I couldn't find my message for a while! I

guess I have to get used to this new board. I am deff cooking more

meals. I try not to ask hubby if he wants any fruit as he is not at

that stage yet. Its amazing how little he eats now. He always has a

protein drink in his hand or a bottle of water. I think I have lost

weight just by us not eating out or buying soda anymore. I did sneak a

treat today and yesterday. Hubby gets so disapointed in me. He is

afraid I'll become diabetic and all that good stuff. Which he is on

the right path. He is thinking about joining the group too. The

support group he shoudl be going to is 1 1/2 hours away so he can't

really go every week and it is during the day so he would loose too

many work hours after being off work for 4 weeks. He was really sick

the week before surgery. Then this week he still hadn't recieved some

meds that he needs before going back to work. Well they finally came

what yesterday i think. So...we are hoping to get back to " normal "

what ever that my be now.

.....and a glaze with some sort of sweet glaze....damn what a crazy

menu! Way to go on what you chose!

I had lunch out with a friend/co-worker who invited me to lunch at

Subway. I ordered a double meat grilled chicken sub (6 " ) with only

mustard as the sauce. My friend got a 12 " club I think, probably with

mayo and other sauces, a large cookie, a soda, not sure if there was

a chip in there but probably. Damn! This dude is pretty big too.

Well we're eating and talking and I'm reading the USA today. I'm

glancing at his feast. I see that I'm about 2/3 through my sub and

he's half way through his. He actually finished his before I finished

mine, I think he took the cookie with him but it's all a blur of fast

eating towards the end. He complained that he probaby should have

just gotten a double meat 6 " sub like I did. Well yeah dude.

Anyway, it's interesting to watch other people just slam the grub

down and know that I could have EASILY blown them away speed-wise and

probably done almost double what they're doing. I remember a little

over a year ago taking down a 12 " sub and not feeling full, not even

close. In fact I think I finished off half of one of my folk's 12 "

back then. There's a reason they don't make an 18 " sub people.

I try not to fixate on others, what they eat, how fast, how much and

all that but it is interesting to think about after the fact and

especially if they mention it. It's a totally different world for me

now not depending on quantity and speed to feel full.

It amazes me to watch people eat too. And like you I could have blown

them out of the water! LOL Now that we're not stuffing our faces it's

amazing what you notice about others!

How do you handle the bread in the sub? I haven't had any bread yet.

Been too chicken. LOL!

I first had them in wraps and now get them toasted. I eat very

slowly. Bread was a huge issue the first few months but, like I beat

too death, after three months I was told anything goes and to be

careful because of that. I still didn't really eat much bread until

after probably five months. I don't eat much bread now either. Maybe

subway every 2-3 weeks and a sandwich at home that often too or less.

If I get breat I try to get as whole grain as possible and lite if

it's available. I actually have a loaf of 12 grain bread in my drawer

here at home. That's a lot of grains.

Surgery date was Jan 20. Can't remember when my first subway sub was.

I'd guess probably July. I do remember stopping half way through and

just finishing up the guts with a fork.

It's a very very very slow meal and one I often eat half of 3-4 hours

later as an afternoon snack.

Surgery date was Jan 20. Can't remember when my first subway sub was.

I'd guess probably July. I do remember stopping half way through and

just finishing up the guts with a fork.

It's a very very very slow meal and one I often eat half of 3-4 hours

later as an afternoon snack.

bypass Sept 25. He is doing good. I have

thought about having it but i dont' think I could handle the diet. I have

littel self controll. Hubby had his surgery at a center of excellence.

They are a good group of people there! He was scheduled to have surgery in

June in UT but due to an office manager that had issues it didnt' go

through. We wait in UT, lived in MT at the time, for 1 1/2 months for the

to finally get it. They would tell us a new date and then we would get

there and they would tell us it was cancelled or whatnot. My hubby has a

skeletal muscle reaction to most commond anesthesia. SO the anesthesia Dr

wasn't comfy with doing the surgery. So we went back to MT then hubby got a

job offer in KY. SO...we live in KY now. We are so much more happy with

this DR! Oh Hubby is 29 and I'm 27. We have a 4 yo son. Oh and a beagle

on a weight loss program. lol I should mention that my aunt is part of

this group and told me to join! She is great! Love her to death!

April
