I miss food as well. Really was hoping that I would not have so many cravings but I do all the time. I can't really say that I get very hungry but it is like I just miss being able to eat anything I want. Plus I think it is harder because I am home all day with my kids and am around food all day. I was thinking about taking the whole month off of work but am wondering if it would be better for me to go back to work next week. I have my 2 week post op appt tomorrow and am going to ask about the cravings. Might need to see someone to try and help me with the food addiction part.

I'm home all day every day with my toddlers. I think after I lose enough to where my back doesn't hurt anymore, I'm going to get a part-time job. I too am around food all day long.

I guess I'm cheating a bit because I will eat fries if I want but only cause I can only eat about 4-5...so I say splurge but I'm no doc! Lol

I notice I have no food restrictions, just portions. I can only eat a lil bit so I get as much Protein as possible with fun foods.

I workout and lose consistently these days but I'm only 3 months out and 51 lbs down so we will see what happens....good luck all!

I was the same way but once you are back to solid foods you will be surprised how quickly foods make you feel full.

Had my surgery on Saturday 14th June the first two days didn't think about food at all. Now that I am home I am thinking and can't wait for these liquid and soft puréed food to be over so I can eat normally. But if before the surgery I was doing a diet I would break it and eat. at least the surgery is not letting me do that!

Currently am on just liquids and don't get hungry but just crave what ppl around me are eating... Is that happening with anyone else?

Yes I am...I want food! I'm 2 wks out...having a difficult period right now nut working thru it...ur definitely not alone..:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
