I'm 10 days out of surgery and every time I watch TV the food commercials drive me nuts, of course I won't stray but they're really bothersome. My parents are morbidly obese and constantly ordering fast food and eating junk in front of me so all I smell is the food that got me to 276 lbs. It's killing me. Will this go away? I don't want to crave junk anymore :[

Can you share a day or two meal plan?? I'm having a hard time eating anything.

Something that made me feel better' date=' it might help all of you that have had or might run into this problem. I for a long time and still to this day have a real hard time eating. I have tried a ton of stuff and gone a day or two without eating at all. There was a day when it was going on day three and everything but the bathtub cam back. I was hungry and weak. So I grabbed a few chips. I know it was wrong, but I was really honestly getting so sick I had to try something. Low and behold they stayed down! I only needed a few. I of course had to stop myself from making myself get rid of it. Not because it hurt, but because I didnt want to risk my weightloss. Seems I'm paranoid about gaining anything back. I force myself to eat now, because I found myself at one point being proud of not having to eat for two days. Sounds stupid, but it's honesty and I am a straight shooter with people. So I go to the doc and tell him about this little problem with the chips. Ready to sink into my seat, he looks at me and says " you know Erin, I have heard that many times!" he then looks at my eating habits and goes on to tell me, if I am not getting at least 600 cals a day, then he wants me to eat anything that will stay down. They really push the 600 rule. So there are days when I can't eat, because I feel so sick, I'll grab a handful and eat three to five. Still brings me nowhere near the target, but it helps. I don't really crave them anymore, but I can't let myself starve until the little a**hole that my new pouch can be says okay you can eat now. I know I'll never let myself go back to bad habits because I just don't want those things like that anymore.[/quote']

I my self had a few Chips but all the sudden it no longer stays down it was at the time nothing was staying down. I was eating hard boil egg that's no longer staying down. Oh well. It doesn't stop me from trying different things.

Yeah I'm missing cigarettes for the first time in 3 months

I think it's just cause now I'm feeling good and like myself. I was taking my son to his MMA class and normally I'd have a cigarette and a soda. Just seemed so unnatural not to have those things. Driving to work is gonna be a killer;) I guess I'll be crossing that bridge next week!
