I was banded on Wednesday and today moved on to creamy liquids. Yay!! However, I can't seem to get my mind off sausage pizza and chicken nuggets.sad.gif I'm not even a big pizza eater, but for some reason I am craving it like crazy today. And it seems like every commercial on tv is for chicken nuggets. I dreamed about french fries last night. I'm constantly thinking about food and it really seems like I'm hungry but a few sips of Water kinda takes that feeling away. Does anyone else have/or had crazy cravings like this right after being banded??

I really didn't have cravings for a long time. Now I seem to think about food all the time. Not in a bad way, seems like I'm always planning what I can eat and the protien and calories in it. I've already got tonights supper entered in my daily log... LOL!

It seems to help keep me on track!

Good luck on your journey!

This made me laugh because I had a dream about food 4 days post op! Everyone thought I was crazy, but I think it was because I just wanted to chew something. Sometimes your body craves salt too, could explain why you are craving those things! It will get better though.

I was too. Going thru the fills - I was able to eat pizza no problem until 3rd fill. Then only a few bites of bread and the toppings thru fill 5. 6th Fill - eating the hot cheese and pepperoni is painful as it sits on your chest and you can feel the heat. Argh!!! But then I remember pizza was the main culprit if how I got fat.

I am a year out and at restriction. There is nothing in the world like the power of suggestion. Have you noticed at BK they have a sign "Try our soft serve". I am really not into ice cream. Even presurgery I did'nt eat it. My mother once found a full container in my freezer and said "Is this from my birthday party 8 months ago?" Anyway every time I see that sign I want a soft serve ice cream cone. I even had a dream about eatin one last night. Crazzzyyyyy!

I dream abt eating food and especially deserts! CARAMEL, chocolate, PECANS.... So when i want to eat and not gain weight I brush my teeth ( that takes the urge to eat away for me cuz i love the feel of fresh breath) and then either get into an activity or go to sleep if it is bed time so I can eat alllllllllll i want in my dreams.... I wonder....Is that healthy??? lolol rolleyes.gif well it works for me lol God Bless and good luck!

i have lost 13 lbs but just started my Ticker 9/9/11 so it does not reflect any weight lost. dang !!! lolol

My initial craving was a taco bravo from taco johns! Oh how badly I wanted one! 5 months out & 55 lbs later I find my cravings are few & gar between & are geared towards healthy foods now :) It gets better!

After I was banded all I wanted was a hotdog and I hate hotdogs! I could smell them everywhere in my house, at the mall, everywhere. But after about a month it went away. Wonder why this happens to all of us. I also seem to watch the food network more and Cakes Boss, why do we do that?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
