Hubby has ate what he liked since my op and i haven't flickered never bothered me, even two days out he ordered takeaway and it never bothered me in the slightest, tonight he has ordered Chinese and i could literally poke him in the eye with a prawn cracker !!!!!!!! SERIOUS CASE OF FOOD ENVY :cry:
 
Doesn't sound like he's being a huge support!
 
No need to be envious of excessive amounts of saturated fat, excessive sugar, normally an overly large portion, potential of MSG, potential of weird food colouring.

And jealous of his expanding waist line as a result of the above. I think not :rolleyes:

And.... According to MFP nearly 400 calories for a bowl of prawn crackers !!!!!
 
awww not tonight that's for sure, my puree salmon mash and peas doesn't quite cut it, puree is a means to an end and is a stage of quick weightloss but i just feel this week i miss chewing. I have never had the envy until now or the interest in food actually which actually has been refreshing because i have never ate to live, i have always lived to eat. But puree is starting to suck !!!
 
Hey Danielle, at this stage of my milk diet I would be having food envy is someone ate a bowl of sheeps eyes dipped in a pigs brain sauce topped off with a touch of fish guts in front of me so I feel your pain lol.
 
I never had to do the milk diet i did low cal, low carb, low sugar, moderate protein no more than 800 cals per day. Milk diet sounds pretty grim also x its not hunger its just the smell and the look x

Had that feeling yesterday, my husband and kids were eating homemade Chips with fresh French bread,and cake after, and he also drank an ice cold can of orangina,..mmmmm! Having my period doesn't help either lol, I was seriously grumpy! I'm 8 days out
 
Trust me, it will get better. I know what it's like though ... in the beginning, you don't even care if people have takeaways in front of you. Then later, you want some again... I was hoping the not caring stage would be for the rest of my life, lol. Anyway, I promise, once the puree stage is over it will get easier.
 
I'm on liquids and cant wait for puree stage! My partner had a Chinese the other night the smell was divine but then I remembered its been the Chinese take aways that got me to the size I was! Plus countless other things!
 
Hated hated hated purée stage! Such a relief to move on - and my consultant let me move in quickly!

As everyone says, it does get easier. But then I do have the advantage of it just being me and my son and he eats what I give him :-D
 
Haha! I was banded in 12th July I felt this too but I'm on mushies now so I don't care it's only when I get hungry hehe! You can get through it :)
 
I think it definitely the look, I've been sticking to mash and gravy, soup and cottage cheese I've just had a tiny bit of tuna pureed up with light mayo and a bit of mashed jacket potato but it didn't look nice it didn't taste to bad but not sure what else to try it's hard x
 
I am on the pureed phase as well and ...... definitely having a bit of food envy myself and just craving to chew some decent food. Have been doing a lot of smoothies and pureed soups so looking forward to start of soft food for me next Wednesday. Let the countdown to soft food begin ;)
