Anyone else sick of food?

[one too many 1]

I loved hot chips and gravy.This is a huge favourite in most cafes in Australia.I can now say I no longer fight for my share of chips.One chip and a dip of gravy and Iam over them....boring.I too just can't be bothered with food and sometimes find it a real chore just to feed my family.Saying that they all eat better than ever befor as I cook what is good for them not what I like to eat.

You are not alone food can be over rated....more so when you never feel hungry.

hi this is my first post to the thread. i am not banded, but look at you all as an inspiration.

I wanted to say, that my biggest desire would be not to love food so much. The ultimate goal I would be imagine is to not have that same crazy relationship with food, as one does before getting banded. If I could only make food that I was crazy about.. like salmon, and potatoes, I would be much happier. Now, everything is cake, tacobell..cake.cake and donuts.

Funny-

I was thinking about starting a similiar post....I was just telling someone the other day that I actually HATE food. I used to love it....loved the way it smelled, loved the way it tasted, loved the full feeling it gave me, loved the way it made me feel in general. I can honestly say now that I HATE IT!! It doesn't smell good anymore, doesn't taste like anything anymore, and definitely does not make me feel good. After a 5-6 bites, I hate the full, sometimes painful feeling I get now.

Now don't get me wrong, my mind still says to me "Doesn't a filet mignon, or a slice of chocolate cake sound good right now." I can taste/eat most anything, but I just don't get hardly any satisfaction of any kind out of it anymore. I guess that's the whole point of the band. However, I have to say that even after nearly 8 months with the band, it is still psychologically very disappointing to NOT be comforted/fulfilled by my desperate cravings. I'm not sure that the psychological elements and/or the thoughts of overeating will ever go away. But the physicial desire to continue eating more and more to keep my old 'high' going is definitely gone, and has been for a long time. I miss the feeling of euphoria I used to get by binging on my whimsical cravings, but I don't miss the way I used to feel 114 pounds ago:D

food used to be my best friend. Now eating is like going to the dentist.
