Re: i miss fried foods, can u eat them at all? i havent tried it yet

[Guest guest]

I am not post-op yet, but my thoughts on that are... You have gone

through so much to loose the weight. Why would you sabotage yourself by

beginning to put the bad for you foods back into you again? Just my 2

cents and that is really all it is worth.

Hey Amy. I know what you mean. I am starting to think about food

again, in the beginning it did not bother me. I look at it this way.

Yes, it is a tool and we need to follow it the best way we can. But

we are going to have cravings and I think it would be better to face

the craving and have a little bit then it would be to try to snuff

it and end up binging like crazy. Like they said, they reduce our

stomachs, not our brains. One person on here still eats a mini milky

way bar when she craves chocolate and she has lost a lot of weight.

I personally am deathly afraid to try any sugar or fried foods for

fear of getting sick. I have yet to dump and am completely afraid of

it. I did however, get a bag of sugar free peanut butter cups the

other day from " my secret sister " at work and they are AWESOME. I

have only eaten one and I keep them in the fridge outta sight. When

it is impossible to handle (which has only been once in 10 weeks) I

will have a better alternative to the sugar. Maybe you could try

shake'n bake chicken instead. I know there are carbs but it would

still be better then the actual " fried " . Good luck to you. I know it

is hard!!!

To all:

Please take a step back and take a deep breath.

I am a pre-op until 9/22. I need all your input about WLS. I will take what I

want and leave the rest. I am so appreciative of all your service in sharing

about life as a WLSer.

Keep coming back.

Kim,

I know that you cant tell me that you have not craved any type of fried food

what so ever. I asked a question and you came off like i sat down and ate a

bucket of chicken. this group is a place to get advice and in my heading it said

i miss fried foods, can u eat them at all? and i said i havent because i was

online getting advice from people who have had the surgery.. And you feeling

that i am not using the surgery as a tool, well you are completely wrong... i

asked a question, but i didnt ask for someone to say i am not using the surgery

as a tool...... why do u think my question was asked on the internet? i could

have just went and got some with out advice, but i didnt..

Kim,

I certainly don't want to boost the sales at KFC! LOL Besides fried stuff can

become addictive. My nutrionist told me to have a teeny tiny bit of something if

you have a craving but that's IT! But you're right that we need to be careful

not to go back to our old ways. Have a good weekend. I'm planning to see a movie

or two and I will be waterloading first:) How is your weekend looking?

Like you said Kim, everyone should check with their doctor and/or nutrionist

about what is okay or not for them to eat post-surgery. Its important to

remember that everybody is different and what one person can tolerate another

can't. Some people have problems with dumping and others don't, etc. For me, the

doctor said chicken was okay as long as I watch the portion size, calories, and

chew and chew:) So like Amy says, talk to your dr and do whats best for YOU.

way (JMO) you should be eating fried chicken. It may not make you dump but I at

16 and half months out cant eat fried chicken. I just feel like your not using

the surgey as just a tool. Sorry again
