Craving

[red37 116]

1 week 1 day post, and I swear I think about scallops (of all things) all day long. This is totally in my head but hoping it goes away??? Ugh! What happens when I am allowed to eat foods like scallops? I guess it could be a Protein thing? It's too early for me to be eating a full amount of protein though! Does this mind stuff get easier?

I have been craving filet mignon and tuna. And salad. All since my second week of preop diet. I am now 5 days postop. I think it might be a Protein thing. But remember, there are worse things you could crave than scallops!

OMG I craved everything from shrimp to chicken with anything but a little tiny bit of Mayonnaise on it. It totally gets better I am almost 3 months out eating anything I want moderation. The only thing I found hard to do was to realize when I was hungry. Before surgery I was full when the entire bag of potato chips was emptied. Now I might have one potato chip and feel full. But it's the realization that you're full. It's a whole new world and a fantastic journey that you will end up loving once you can eat solid food. I regretted the surgery and thought I was going to die with the stuff that I had to eat and drink for three weeks post surgery. But there is light at the tunnel and the journey is amazing, I'm glad I did it and I think you will be too

I previously had a lap band and lost only 35 pounds. So when I got to the 35 pound mark with my RNY I panicked thinking this is it I'm not gonna lose anymore and then I got on the scale and I'm now losing 2 pounds a week which is fine for me. When I first had the surgery I wanted 10 pounds a week to come off. It's just not like that I might go week without losing anything and then I would lose five or 6 pounds in one day. So stick with it and don't be too discouraged because you'll be able to eat anything you want in moderation as long as you know your full
