Church festival this weekend: do I miss my stomach?

I'm heading home this weekend to help out with my church's ethnic food festival like I do every year. This is the first festival post-RNY. As I was thinking earlier today, I thought that I'd miss eating some of the foods that I used to eat at the festival (halushki, chicken tenders, etc.), but then I remembered how crummy I felt after gorging myself with those foods. They're good for a while, but after eating more than my fair share (which I always did), I felt bad about myself.

Of course, I can still enjoy some favorites such as hot sausage or meatballs (sans the bun), but I am happy I have my RNY to keep me in check this year. It's a new experience for sure.

I went to a festival last weekend and had a chicken pita with tzatzikisauce,  and just didn't eat the bread.  It was yummy!

There are so many options.  I didn't know what halushki was,  so Googled it,  and now i want some! Lol

Oh man, halushki was my favorite before RNY! LOL!

I was born in Pittsburgh, to a very Hungarian family...

I now live in Oklahoma City, and I make halushki every New Years Day for my friends... they love it!

I will have some when I make it this year - post RNY - but I'll grab more cabbage than noodles... I will I will I will!

Yum!

On another note, we are going to the state fair in a couple of weeks. I figure there's enough meat out there that I'll be good... I'll just try one of the many new bacon wrapped something or anothers! 

There's always a choice with our surgeries... I love that part! And it doesn't take much to get full, so a bite of the things hubbie gets will probably do me.

Exactly, there's always a choice!

When I'm in public, however, I like to stick with what I know will agree with me. I'm always afraid of getting sick in the least favorable situation.

I do miss being able to eat sometimes . Especially when we go out to eat. No more chips and queso or salsa. But I LOVE not feeling miserable all the time or guilty for what I had or how much! I love my sleeve!
