Okay, I'm just curious what everyone craves the most, salty crunchy or sweet creamy.

Oh, it's chips and dips for me in a heartbeat,I could finish a bag in no time...and look for more!

Chips, no dips and Ben & Jerry and I make a really hot threesome!

chocolate covered potato chips or chocolate covered pretzels are really good! And I'm not a huge chocolate, nor a huge potato chip, nor a big pretzel fan.

But I'd love some chips and salsa and guac right about now. I just wish there were some yummy low fat, low carb chips that tasted good out there. I can only do so much soy...

Doritos and sour cream....

Or some fresh baked pretzels, soft not crunchy, with some cheese and some mustard.

I'm on the pre-op diet of bacteria laced milk and their bi-products!

So I basically miss People foods, all people foods...

:beer: :lunch: :popcorn: :pizza: :cup:

But I'm hanging in there...:clap2:

HI: I crave salt white carbs. Could not care less if sweets are all around me but put fresh baked warm bread and butter near me and there ain't no stopping me. Same with fresh steamed rice..........oh! make me stop. Back to my healthy veggies. Doddie

Hi: I crave salt and white carbs. Could not care less about sweets but put some fresh baked warm bread and butter in front of me or hot white steamed rice and I will devour everything in sight. Oh ...........make the pain go away........back to the veggies. Doddie

mmmmmmmmmmmmm salty

Hi Jurema: Boy is it ever nice to put a face to the name. How many days to go now. Like you, I love salt so you have to wean yourself off it. Salt is addictive so that may be why you are having trouble with the pre op. Just a thought. Doddie

Doddie,

6 days and counting... I can't wait. Soon I'll be on the banded side. I wonder what I'll look like in a year and how much more better I'll feel over all. Do we have a canadian before and after pic thread?

Hi Jurema I sent you a private message. Hope you get it. But incase you don't I encourage you to take a before picture and to make a pictorial record of your journey. I am doing it, and I know many others are as well.

Make the first one as unflatering as possible then every 30 lbs. I love your ticker tape. Doddie

Depending on the time of the month (any men here?) it could be salty or chocolate. I do them all!

You are gonna look hot baby, no doubt about it. With that face, hair, etc. you will do great. We will have to make sure we meet up at TLBC around this time next year. Good luck on May 4th.

awwwwwww Donna your so sweet... hows everything going with the band?

Really well. I only took one demerol the nite of and nothing else. Lots of gas. You really must try to walk around to get rid of it. Get lots of chewable Gas X and Rolaids plus gas (they're yummy). I have a hard time taking deep breaths but nurse Nancy said thats normal and to take about 5 deep breaths hold for 10 seconds every hour. Should go away in a few days. I'm on full fluids tomorrow and I can hardly wait, actually, I didn't ...had a yoghurt. Good luck on the 4th. I'll be away for about a week no computer access at the cottage so I'll check in on you next week.

All the best
