What do you miss?

I soooo miss chicken BLT salads from Wendy's with balsamic vinegar.

I'm only 19 days out so I don't even know when I'll be able to eat salads again.

OH and I miss boiled seafood. We're having our annual company crawfish boil this weekend..I'm going to be LICKING the crawfish just for the flavor and sucking the juice out of the pincers! LOL

Nothing cause I eat whatever I want, in moderation of course. . including alcohol 1-2 drinks only though, go straight to my head they do! hehehe. . . before the sleeve, my problem was Portion Control and not junk food eater. . . when i discussed this with the surgeon, he told me i would be an excellent candidate since this surgery controls portions. . . I eat healthy stuff, cheese, meat, veggies, fruits, tons of Water, sugar free Desserts if i have any, nuts, seeds, etc. . . but it's portion controlled. . . tonight i was really happy that i actually finished 1 whole hamburger (small one) with a slice of cheese and a pickle. . . then about 2 hours later about 6 chucks of fresh pineapple and a little bit of nuts. . . if i feel like eating ice cream, i have it, but it's sugar free and about 100 calories only. . . so nope, no missing foods here at all and loving it. . .

I too miss eating and drinking at the same time..also I love Mexican food and could polish off a full Mexican plate..now I usually get an appetizer. I have no regrets whatsoever.

Oh, BTW I guess I miss my hair the most!!! It was so thin the other day I cut several more inches. Also, have 2 wigs for back up!!

I don't miss anything. I eat one piece of pizza once a week. One piece and I am stuffed and have no desire to eat anymore than that. I can eat ice cream again, if I choose to.

There is no food that I can't eat and I eat whatever I want. I just can't eat very much of anything, but I'm full so it's pretty easy not to want more of anything. I love the Sleeve!

I can't wait until I'm far enough out that I can have a little taste of whatever I'm craving!

I admit that this is gonna open up just how deep my food issues are! I miss my routines. I had rituals everyday and the first three weeks post op I was lost without them. For example I would wake up and pick up my first client of the day and there is a drive thru at a gas station that everyone knows my name and knows my car and as I pulled in they had a 44 oz diet coke ready for me. I did this 4 more times during the day and had a yummy mexican lunch or wendy's a couple times per week. I had no idea how much of my time was wrapped around getting and eating food.

Maybe it's too early for me to think about this post-op but I really don't miss any particular food but like other posters above, drinking milk with a meal is something I was very used to and I miss that a bit. I agree with the crunching aspect ..I think I chewed my Jello one night just to get a sense *lol* .. but I am on soft foods now and the chewing craving is gone. It was funny to see my dishwasher loaded with spoons for about 10 days .. no forks, no plates .. just spoons
