Oddly enough my cravings and appetite disappeared after surgery...pretty strange feeling for a life long binge eater. After my last fill I just simply have no interest in food.< /p>

Hello Bandsters!

I did develop a craving for sweets. I never really liked sweets before the surgery, i only loved food, well still do, lol... But after the band I started craving something sweet. I fight this by using the 100 calorie packs. Weird huh!

Am I just really weird?? Lol. I wish I didn't have these darned cravings, but thankfully it's not some fried fish, French fries, or something more horribly fattening.

Oh my goodness. Tamales...yummy that made my mouth Water haha. But I'm about to start mushies so most things sound amazing right now. What a rollercoaster. I'm stoked I took this ride. 41 lbs lost since feb (pre op phase) was banded July 25th. Have a successful day everybody :)

My cravings are weird probably related to the reduction in food but I crave avocados, eat tomatoes like apples and salmon. nothing bad of course but my family thinks I'm crazy when I mow down on tomatoes for lunch lol

I kept craving hotdogs. I hate hotdogs, but I could smell them everywhere. I did not even know they smelled, but if I walked into a store that solded them like Target's snack bar I could smell them. My husband thought I was crazy. I never did eat one and now 3 years later I couldn't eat one if I wanted to.

One thing I did and still do find myself watching the food network where I never did before. Now I watch Cupcake Wars, Cake Boss and the one where the guy goes around eating the biggest burger, pizza, pancake or whatever, so weird

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
