I've read that a lot of people on here don't even want to eat bread anymore or other "bad" food, etc... but I still do. I can't stomach anything more than some Soup, some Popsicles, so of course, I don't want to hurt myself and eat bad stuff,

But I still want them. I'm craving something different every day. I want fries. I want a burger. I want some Chili's Honey chicken Chipotle. I want cupcakes!

I know they are bad for me, I know the commitment I made, I know all of that. But I hear so many people say that they don't crave that stuff anymore, so why do I? :-(

I spent two nights in the hospital, and I the first day after returning home the only thing I wanted was a Butter Burger from Sollys in Wisconsin. I live in Las Vegas! I told my husband we should get in the car and we could get there in a few days. Of course we didn't go, and I could never have eaten that Butter Burger, but my head was all ready. The cravings didn't last long, thank goodness, but when I had them I was very funny. It's now been 5 months and my food is under controll and I weigh 60 lbs less than I did at the start of this journey.

I'm 6 weeks post-op and I feel the same way! It was a rough day today :/ I found myself wanting to munch on some chips, craving a cheeseburger and fries and pizza- all of it! Oh and the donut too...

This is a hard journey; my cravings have not disappeared; I almost wish I could be my old self for a day so I can eat all the delicious food I'm missing-

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
