I am 10 weeks out. I am constantly craving mustard, vinegar and diet Pepsi. Separately that is. What are your cravings? Past or present.

When it gets near that time of the month, I start craving rare to medium rare steak. I mean like... with the ferocity of a wild animal or something. I enjoyed steak (cooked the same way) before my surgery but now? Oh man... LOL I'm absolutely ravenous for steak but it's funny because it's all I can talk about & think about for days.. and then I finally get my hands on it and I eat a few bites and I'm satisfied. Ohhhh the magic of VSG ;)

Sometimes I crave the salty/vinegar-y things too. I've found some almonds that are sea salt & vinegar and REALLY helps satisfy that craving without undoing our progress. The way I look at it is, I'm eating something that I would normally eat.. the carrier of a little extra Protein w/o being carb heavy.. so why not satisfy myself further with the flavor I'm craving. I did that as well with spicy hot peanuts. Sometimes I crave spicy hot things where before my surgery I avoided spicy hot things like the plague.

I crave vegetables. The day of surgery I was craving asparagus and brussel sprouts, things I might have once or twice a year! When I was in the grocery store yesterday, the tomatoes looked soooo good. I am not a vegetarian and find this unusual. I think what I am craving is variety and stronger tastes. Less than a week out and still on full liquids.

I find that I still have a sweet tooth. :( I think about the pies that will be around during the holidays nearly every single day. lol Luckily my will power is pretty strong and I find that the craving passes quickly.

salt cravings for sure - 5 weeks out and craving green or kalamata olives.

Cucumbers!

fish and tartar sauce all the way :-)

Salt seems to be the general consensus. I have been craving cheese curls, doritos and of course pepsi which is crazy because I wasn't a pepsi-aholic.

Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese. Man ... it is good!

I went through a HUGE candy phase. Starburst, Big Hunks, Skittles, jelly beans, tootsie rolls (different times)...it was quite insane since I was never really in to these type of candies as an adult.

Oh yes and I hardly ever ate steak before my sleeve now I crave it and love it! Medium rare ribeye from Black Angus is the best :) mm mm good!

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I want Salt & Vinegar so bad!! I'm on pureed food, but would give my right arm for salt & vinegar chips!!!
