I want cake

[lsmith715 55]

I'm 3 months preop. For the past week I've been dying for cake. I don't know how much longer I can fight this craving. HELP!

Dont eat it. Its going to be hard forever, once you are bypassed you'll dump if you eat cake...stay strong!

If it's within your reach, go pour salt all over it right now. It won't be nearly as appealing after that!

Stay true to yourself. That cake is evil and it's just trying to lure you in. Show it who's boss!

I den eat it thankfully. I didn't have any in the house but had serious debates to not go to the store and get some. I ate grapes instead. Yay me!!!

Good for you! Posting here was the right thing to do. Give yourself a big pat on the back!

Well done.

Cake is one of the foods that we somehow turned into poison.

I currently have two things that I use as sweets-substitues when I start getting overwhelmed and want to cave in and have the sugary crap that I sure don't need:

greek yogurt with fresh blueberries mixed in

Protein powder (chocolate) & Water shakes

Both are excellent in flavor and ward off the sugary junk food.......and both have redeeming nutritional value.

I survived last night but am still thinking about it. Hopefully it passes soon. I am proud I was able to get past it without giving in for once. Thanks for the support!

My therapist has me do battle with the foods I crave. I have to pick it up. Smell it for a long time. Decide what it smells like. Touch it. And then take a teeny taste. 99% of the time it smells fatty, feels fatty, tastes fatty, and in teeny bites, kinda tastes gross. So I move on. I have come to realize that some of my favorite foods arent that awesome when I stop and make myself aware of how they really smell and taste.
