Wow! you are bold!
Thanks for the reply and please know, I eat baked/grilled fish, baked/grilled chicken, grilled veggies, seafood, ...no pasta, no pizza, no chips, no fried foods (minus the 1 corn pup or taco I allow myself a week) no candy, no ice cream, no cereal, no cake, no potatoes,no red meat, no pork, nothing I ate pre surgery. I will never say I do not need guidance, but I do not get anything out of the nutritionalist that my dr. has. It has been 2 years since I have had a soda of any kind. I used to dring 2+ liters of Diet Cola a day. All I am saying, is that after 2 years, it takes more that a blonde barbie look alike with a fake smile to make someone get back on track. Is that not was sites like this are for ... to help get you back on a good path for you.. with others that understand where you are? I do love carbs and I have to choose them carefully - I would love to have a plate of pasta with alfredo sauce and garlic rolls... but I choose not to have that. I do not think it is bad to have one corn pup or taco - after all there are no fries or sodas with that, I think not allowing yourself to have some things that you want is worse than indulging once a week. Just because I am loving the taste of a taco and a corn pup, does that mean I am eating them in the same week. If I go to a mexican resturant and have already indulged for the week on another day, I will just get an order of fajita veggies and salsa, If not , I have a taco. but nothing else.
I have changed my life since this surgery, changed my eating, changed my work out habits, changed just about everything I can, and now after 2 years, I do feel a bit stuck - that is why I logged onto this site to see how others are handling it. Clearly, I understand that I am lacking in the knowledge to make this change on my own, that is why I was looking for what has worked for others. I do not feel that I can get that from a nutritionalist that has never been there.
Your comments are most greatfully taken, please do not think otherwise.
