Food Porn ( Graphic)

Quoting meg ryan... YES< YES< YES

Yes, you will be able to eat this food again, just not in large quantities. I have had wings, street tacos, Indian food, jalenpenos (although not as many whole as before), BBQ, popcorn with butter, all of it.

Nothing is forbidden any more. Because of this beautiful sleeve I can easily control quantities.

Love this sleeve and being at goal. Patience to those of you in the process. Your time will come, sooner than you ever dreamed! Promise.

Well, that explains it...I've been in food porn mode since Christmas. I watch the Cooking Chanel and reading cook books. My husband asked me last night why I'm watching the Cooking Chanel...I didn't have an answer for him.. I never thought of it as part of the addiction. OH MY GOSH!

As for cravings...I want a turkey meatball with marinara sauce. Heck, I never made turkey meatballs...how strange!

Yes! So much food porn...but it's weird. I got into cooking about 6 months before surgery, and while I am still finding my way, I have been drooling over websites like Eggface, and Skinny tastes. I NEVER knew there were so many decently healthy things to make that look so darn yummy!

So now I find myself looking forward to being able to start a whole new eating phase, making these wonderful low cal/ low carb dishes for myself (and let's be real, my friends, cause I won't be able to eat it all!)

AWWW, Im so hot right now. LOL Ok I'll jump in

We have a place in CT called Franklin Giant Grinders. It's a little Italian hole in the wall with the best sandwiches in the state. Once a week I would buy a whole combo (honey ham and smoked turkey) piled high with fresh lettuce and italian peepers and eat the WHOLE thing. Mind you this thing was about 18' long and 4-5' high. I guess thats how I avoid them, thinking of me sitting in my recliner in a meat coma is not a picture i care to re-develop.

MMMMM, food porn, is it hot in here, or is it just me? LOL.

I love popcorn and whenever I go to the movies, I have some. As for wings and other spicy foods, I am a chili head. I love hot, hot, hot wings and other spicy food, and my sleeve doesn't seem to mind it one bit. My motto, everything in moderation!

I've always enjoyed cooking shows but since the sleeve, I've become addicted. I thought it was weird. It doesn't seem like torture because I know I wouldn't be able to eat much even if I cooked it. My favorite food that I miss is pupusas. It's a traditional El Salvadoran food that my daughter and I first ate on a youth missionary trip there. It's a sort of corn meal outer crust with pork and chesse inside that you pull apart and dip in salsa. Heavenly.

Oh man, that looks and sounds wonderful, lol.

OO MY , yes theater popcorn is HIGH on my list of missed food.

Im the same way.. I watched MAN VS food all the time and the BEST FOOD... I also watch all the food documentaries to help level me too..lol

I love looking at food it helps me too

I like looking at good food with the best of em... but this show is just too much for me!! LOL

The sleeve is a wonderful tool.. you will be able to eat all of these foods once again. Anything you can think of. So dreaming of the day when you can again is fine! You won't have to miss it forever. I do love my sleeve!!!

For those of you craving pickles, depending on your food stage, check with your nutritionist - when I was on mushies/purees I was allowed to make tuna salad with dill relish and a little mayo. I used a LOT of dill relish because I love it. I eat pickles a lot now - the sodium is high, but it's a good low-cal snack and gives me a good crunch. Now my mouth is watering and I might have to go get one out of the fridge.

PEPSI!!

food I know I can have again. Not the same quantity, but I can't think of anything I really love that I wouldn't allow myself at least a bite of.

But Pepsi is a different thing. I know that I will never be able to even have one sip again. For me that would certainly start the ball rolling down a very slippery slope.

I watch the cooking channel all the time....MY fav is Chopped and the Next Iron Chef (bummer who won was not my fav guy boo). I have enjoyed hot wings (though it only takes 1-2 to fill me up now) and tacos with jalapenos (but tortillas fill me up in an uncomfortable way so I mostly eat the Beans, guac yumyum and sour cream and chicken) I can eat popcorn too but much much less than before sleeve.

You will still be able to enjoy food just will be eating alot less and more Protein and less of the bread etc.

It's all good...........like Guy says, "winner, winner, chicken dinner!" LOLOL
