That is my cryptonite! Carrot cake from the cheese cake factory. The cake is so big and even pre sleeve it took me 2-3 days to finish it. I went to Mrs. Fields Cookies yesterday with my sister and literally had to run from the store. They had a cheesecake brownie! I could so see myself and that brownie being BFF's.

All the way back 2 years ago and every post looks delish!!!!

I love this blog!!!!!!! :wub:

Is it weird to have a love affair with fresh cherries? I always have my lean protein and veggies first, but I can have 8-10 of these beautiful little fruits and just be in heaven. I'm glad we only have them when they're in season. I'd post a picture, but I'd have to eat more if I got them out to take one. :wub:

Haha hey giys, Glad its still going. Im now 7 months out from surgery and can officially eat anything I posted above^... although I make better choices and the quantities are very limited BUT I can if I so desire. PHEW that was my fear because I wasnt sure I could get past saying goodbye to theater popcorn for good..:-)

I've eaten a lot of these foods. Wings are on my menu at least twice a month. I can only eat two whole wings (drummet plus the tip) so big wow right? -- unless it makes me drink beer that is

A lot of the other stuff I do minus the bread and tortillas. I substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream or mix it with avocado. Today I'm having Italian turkey, a salami called Alpino which is ground Prosciutto basically, light string cheese, raw broccoli and a Greek yogurt/mustard dip.

Fat does not stop my weight loss. I eat about 25+ grams a day. Carbs stop my weight loss.

Speaking of edible food porn, I have this recipe for a cheesy egg zucchini casserole. MMMMMMMMM, I forgot that I can have that.

Yay, the "food porn" thread is back! We need to keep this one going, it is a lot of fun!

Ive had alot of the foods mentioned,,I love me some pizza so I eat all the toppings and sauce and leave the crust for my son.lol I shared a piece of key lime pie the other day..I debated..4 oz of yogurt or an ounce of pie...sorry but so much better than yogurt. It was creamy and tart with the sweet graham cracker crumbly and buttery crust. I had 3 bites It was food orgasmic.

I solomnly swear that I was just about to start a thread to find out if I was the only one. 8 days out and I'm obsessed with the Food Network and the Cooking Channel! Fantasizing about cooking all this wonderful stuff. Getting more ambitious than ever, and can't throw down anymore! I want to cook EVERYTHING! Is this like a survival mechanism kicking in, or what?

Quoting meg ryan... YES< YES< YES

Yes' date=' you will be able to eat this food again, just not in large quantities. I have had wings, street tacos, Indian food, jalenpenos (although not as many whole as before), BBQ, popcorn with butter, all of it.

Nothing is forbidden any more. Because of this beautiful sleeve I can easily control quantities.

Love this sleeve and being at goal. Patience to those of you in the process. Your time will come, sooner than you ever dreamed! Promise.[/quote']

I LOVE YOU, LEGAL! Thank you for the hope!

Ribs, oysters, Pasta, ice cream, we shall meet again!

OMG! So glad I came across this thread - here's another closet food porn addict coming out! My family hasn't stopped commenting about how many new recipes I've cooked for them since my surgery (foods that I can't even eat, mind you) - I thought I was the only weirdo getting some kind of sick enjoyment out of watching Top Chef (the Australian version - it's great) and doing tons of online recipe searches. So far, my family's favorite has been mini pizzas with lots of different toppings to choose from (e.g., homemade pizza sauce, roasted veggies, tomato and basil, caramelized onions, etc.) - and I can't even eat any hot cheese any more! But I just get a kick out of making the stuff - glad to know this is somewhat normal :-)

I just want to say.... Paula Dean.

Oh my, Paula Dean and all her buttery goodness... yum!

One of the meals I can't wait to have. Crab Salad... Made that a week before my surgery, I can't wait to have it again...

OMG! I love this blog. Thank you for the new site.

My favorite is fried chicken with mashed potatoes and buttered corn. Oh and I can't forget homemade biscuits with butter. As you can see I really like my butter.

Go Paula!
