EarthyGoalie 253 Posted October 7, 2013 I've read that a lot of people on here don't even want to eat bread anymore or other "bad" food, etc... but I still do. I can't stomach anything more than some Soup, some Popsicles, so of course, I don't want to hurt myself and eat bad stuff, But I still want them. I'm craving something different every day. I want fries. I want a burger. I want some Chili's Honey chicken Chipotle. I want cupcakes! I know they are bad for me, I know the commitment I made, I know all of that. But I hear so many people say that they don't crave that stuff anymore, so why do I? :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyndie 2 Posted October 7, 2013 I spent two nights in the hospital, and I the first day after returning home the only thing I wanted was a Butter Burger from Sollys in Wisconsin. I live in Las Vegas! I told my husband we should get in the car and we could get there in a few days. Of course we didn't go, and I could never have eaten that Butter Burger, but my head was all ready. The cravings didn't last long, thank goodness, but when I had them I was very funny. It's now been 5 months and my food is under controll and I weigh 60 lbs less than I did at the start of this journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

140icandoit 25 Posted October 7, 2013 I'm 6 weeks post-op and I feel the same way! It was a rough day today :/ I found myself wanting to munch on some chips, craving a cheeseburger and fries and pizza- all of it! Oh and the donut too... This is a hard journey; my cravings have not disappeared; I almost wish I could be my old self for a day so I can eat all the delicious food I'm missing- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
