Any Wierd Cravings After Banding?

[Diva Down 26]

Good morning fellow bandsters!! Has anyone had any unusual cravings that were not there prior to banding???

Mine were/are as follows:

Cottage cheese

Homemade pimento cheese (low fat)

Peanut Butter

Cheetos (more than ever before)

Pick de Gallo (my current craving)

Just curious!!!

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.

I did have a weird craving after surgery and it was for beef tamales... I'm on the soft diet stage but I don't know if I can even eat them

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
