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.< /p>

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 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.

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!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
