I was sleeved July 22nd and I'm feeling the same way. My follow up appointment is Wednesday and I can't wait to be able to eat Beans, cheese, eggs, and fork tender meats and veggies!

I get where y'all are coming from, and I'm two days away from the surgery. This may sound crazy, but I've named that little voice in my head that brings up food Bubba. Every time Bubba starts talking and craving, I tell him there's a new sherriff in town, and he needs to hit the road. Generally, this helps to get me in the right state of mind. Crazy I know, but it's worth a try.

OMG! It is so very normal to miss food. I mean, let's face it. All of a sudden we immediately stop doing something that we've been doing our whole lives. And we've been REALLY doing it! lol During my liquid and pureed phases I realized more than ever how much we engage all of our senses with food and eating. So, even though I couldn't taste food (I didn't dare to even lick my fingers for fear of opening the flood gate), I was tortured at times by the sight of food, the smell of food cookig, and the touch/handling of food during meal preparation. It made me miss it more. While it drove my family crazy, I lived vicariously through them during that period. I asked often, "How does it taste?" Is it good? Drove them batty. lol After liquids, I waited with baited breath for my first taste of "real" food. Never wanted a soft scrambled egg so much in my life. It was a glorious day.

When I was on liquids I missed the crunch if things. Try ice chips. It surprisingly helped me.
