I have gum, just dont swallow it- I can honestly say there is nothing I crave or miss because I am able to eat what I want within reason of course. I dont deprive myself of anything... ALL thanks to the wonderful sleeve...

Pasta of any kind: Spaghetti and meatballs, pesto, mac n'cheese, even simple butter and Parmesan. I allow myself a bite or two when my husband has it for dinner, so amazing!

I crave nothing because I am never hungry and no longer like food. I miss being able to eat a real meal. Because I can only hold a couple of bites, I cannot taste more than one thing each time I eat. Just meat, no sides..not even a bite. If I chose to eat the veggies/fruit, I have to skip the meat. I can no long eat anything sweet at all. Just a bite makes me sick every time. I did mix a piece of crumbled burger with whole kernel corn and cheese sauce yesterday (2-3oz.). It took me a while to eat it and I was sick afterward, but I have to say it was refreshing.

My Doctor told me no gum because it puts air in your stomach :( I became a huge gum chewer when I gave up smoking 22 years ago. I am also a huge lifesaver gal. Gave it all up, but it is worth it!

Being a vegetarian these things are a staple in my diet.. Why would you NOT eat them??

I miss nothing. I eat whatever I want. In fortunate that I don't want things that aren't good for me. If I want a cupcake, I have a bite of my hubby's. If he doesn't want one, I have a bite and toss the rest. Doesn't bother me to not finish food at all. Occasionally I do miss the fizz of a diet coke, but I love not having aspartame in my body more than that. I could have a diet coke - my doctor said it was fine- but I just simply would rather not.

Change your perception. You eat to live, not for emotional fulfillment. If you can train yourself in that, you WILL enjoy all of your savory bites!

The first couple of weeks I wanted a Five Guys burger & Popeyes chicken. I gave in and bought one chicken tender, it took me two sittings to eat it. That cure my cravings, it wasn't nearly as good as I rememember it being. Now food is fuel. Nothing more. I can say, chewing has made me much more aware of texture.

      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.
