How Did You Handle Food Cravings?

cuteNATL · November 7, 2016

I'm almost 5 weeks post op and I'm starting to crave my favorite place... CHIPOTLE. I really just want a chicken burrito bowl with double Beans and green salsa. I'm sooooooo tired of these Premier Protein drinks and eggs and chocolate milk... I need other options for food and need to fight my cravings! Help!

What phase are you in? The puree phase allows foods like refried Beans, yoghurt, hummus, ricotta bake and mkre. Once you are on solid foods you can have that bowl but leave out the rice if there is any. The thing is though, yo will likely only be able to have a few bites and it may not be as enjoyable as you remember.

For me, when I was able to have some favorites again, I was like "hmmm, not like I remember. Not sure I like this anymore."

It's weird... Im in the last stage of advanced soft foods, but still can have ground, chopped, and diced lean meats and poultry, soft cooked non fibrous vegetables, crackers, and Beans, etc as long as I chew chew chew.....so I'm kinda confused as what's different between the stage I'm in now and actual solid foods...

Oh and I totally expect one bowl to last me like 5-6 meals... Oh the joys of our sleeves! ???? ???? ???? ????

The lines of the stages are a little blurred. For me when I got to full solids, I added some more veggies, pork, grilled chicken, beef other than ground, and denser fruit.< /p>
