Recommended Posts

For the past few weeks I've been craving cupcakes. no icing, just the cake part of it. i don't care at this point what flavor either lol. i have a few reasons why i don't go ahead and eat one.

1. i'm afraid it will get stuck

2. if it doesn't get stuck then i will 'think' i can eat another one

3. i looked at the calories and i about fainted lol

the craving is almost gone. but what do you all do when you crave something? eat it, ignore it or what?

I am so craving homemade piemento and cheese sandwich lightly toasted on white bread with butter and a coke in a glass bottle....

The most important thing is...I did not do it.....I want to but I did not!

Iv'e had a bad craving all week for Yellow cupcakes w/chocolate frosting or b-day cake w/icecream. Was at my sisters last weekend for my nephews b-day & not only was there B-B-Q & all the sides but cakes, icecream etc. I did not have any. I picture myself eating some when I am thin and enjoying it even more.

The weirdest thing, a kahlua and coke. Do you guys have kahlua over there? Its such "tart fuel", lol, only bimbos drink it.

I'm a wine drinker, and fancy myself as a bit of a sophisticated one too, lol. I never drink those girlie drinks, but I really want something like that. I think I want the relaxation of acohol but wine can actually be unpleasant to drink now, it burns a little sometimes. I've drunk waaaay too much Baileys too lately. Very fattening!

I am in mushy stage right now. My mother was visiting and wanted to get some stuff from costco. We went during the food promo time and they were baking brownies. OMG the smell nearly killed me. They were sampling their canned chicken breast with mayo which I can have right now. So I did but threw away the cracker. Tasted so good because I make mine with low fat Mayo and they used the real stuff. I did have the pumpkin filling of the pumpkin pie they were sampling. But only one (so about 1 tablespoon) so not that bad.

I had a small dinner party the other day where I made chili (took out my growned turkey and tofu before adding the rest of the ingrediants); and also made nachos. Can I say how badly I wanted to eat those Nacho's really really badly.

For me right now it's more about the textures. On Friday I can start having solid foods like apple! I had really cut down on carbs like crackers, breads, chips before the surgery anyway. But I miss being able to eat carrots and grapes.

Any and all things chocolate, but that is PMS talking. Other than that it is pickles. Yes, I eat the pickles, and I drink the Pickle Juice.< /p>

I'm 5 months post-op and was a HUGE sandwich/taco/french fry lover. At first, it was very difficult to stay away and fight the cravings, but thinking of the foreign object being in your body for a reason helped fight the cravings. It takes 21 days to break a habit. Same with food and cravings. One thing for myself is I don't want the craving to get so bad that I go overboard when I can have, so I have implemented a little bread such as tortillas or whole wheat flat bread. Once a month ONLY. It's worked out, cause this past time eating a taco for Breakfast and flat bread tuna sandwich for dinner(not on same day), I didn't like either and tossed the tortilla/bread aside cause it was too doughy since I chewed the crap out of it to avoid PB.

...to think...I'd eat 2 sandwiches or two tacos for a meal...now 60 lbs lighter. :thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
