freshair 135 Posted December 9, 2014 I feel a strong desire for the foods I used to eat and kind of sad to give up my food binges and being able to have pig outs or just eat to escape etc. I definitely keep thinking of food more than I thought I would. By I am assuming (being only a few days post surgery) that it takes some time to forget those habits and replace them with new ones. And there is NO WAY I could eat much of anything right now. I manage to get down 4 tblsp of yogurt this morning and I feel like I am going to burst and can't even face the Water I need to drink. It's like having a shackle over my stomach. I think over time one forgets. I hope! I keep craving spicy food not surprising that is my favorite It's just a tough choice but it's one we make for our health. I really love food and it's sad to give it up but I keep reminding myself over time that we can have foods we like in smaller portions. I feel you cause I've been going sime of the same thoughts! And am also just a week out, so i hoping and praying it gets better. I'm sure that when I start to see the weight come off i might not focus on food as much anymore. Best of luck let's stay connected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
