I am 10 weeks out. I am constantly craving mustard, vinegar and diet Pepsi. Separately that is. What are your cravings? Past or present.

When it gets near that time of the month, I start craving rare to medium rare steak. I mean like... with the ferocity of a wild animal or something. I enjoyed steak (cooked the same way) before my surgery but now? Oh man... LOL I'm absolutely ravenous for steak but it's funny because it's all I can talk about & think about for days.. and then I finally get my hands on it and I eat a few bites and I'm satisfied. Ohhhh the magic of VSG ;)

Sometimes I crave the salty/vinegar-y things too. I've found some almonds that are sea salt & vinegar and REALLY helps satisfy that craving without undoing our progress. The way I look at it is, I'm eating something that I would normally eat.. the carrier of a little extra Protein w/o being carb heavy.. so why not satisfy myself further with the flavor I'm craving. I did that as well with spicy hot peanuts. Sometimes I crave spicy hot things where before my surgery I avoided spicy hot things like the plague.

I crave vegetables. The day of surgery I was craving asparagus and brussel sprouts, things I might have once or twice a year! When I was in the grocery store yesterday, the tomatoes looked soooo good. I am not a vegetarian and find this unusual. I think what I am craving is variety and stronger tastes. Less than a week out and still on full liquids.< /p>

I find that I still have a sweet tooth. :( I think about the pies that will be around during the holidays nearly every single day. lol Luckily my will power is pretty strong and I find that the craving passes quickly.

Salt seems to be the general consensus. I have been craving cheese curls, doritos and of course pepsi which is crazy because I wasn't a pepsi-aholic.

I went through a HUGE candy phase. Starburst, Big Hunks, Skittles, jelly Beans, tootsie rolls (different times)...it was quite insane since I was never really in to these type of candies as an adult.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
