Ok, for a while it was oatmeal with dried cherries and pecans. Had to eat it all the time. Loved it. (still do, but getting bored)

Lately I want refried Beans with cheese melted on top and a bunch of salsa. Not really craving the tortilla, so don't bother with it.

But the beans! Love them lately.

Wonder what that's about?

Sometimes I also want avacado, lettuce, Tomato, onion, cilantro and lime.

But for an on the go lunch? Beans with cheese and salsa...has been really good lately.

Never would have eaten this before. Cravings have changed so much in the last six months. Weird!

What brand of refried beans do you favor?

Good eats. Had some reduced fat colby jack and hot homemade salsa.

I'll have to pick some up. One of my twins makes an absolutely kick-@ss salsa. I still can't eat it :47_tired_face: I did manage to eat about 12 black Beans with my cilantro-lime chicken last night. Yeah! Can't wait until my portions get a bit bigger.

Our brain/bodies do some crazy things. Usually cravings are caused by your body signaling that you need something that a particular food might provide. Sometimes they are caused by hormone imbalances of all things. And then there is the addiction part, where your body craves the endorphins caused by eating certain foods. Sounds like you've got a handle on satisfying the craving while staying within your WLS requirements which is awesome.

I almost always crave beef after working out, not sure why beef, but pretty much every time I walk out of the gym, I want a burger.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
