Soda! Haven't touched it since surgery nor do I want to. Diluted lemonade & apple juice seems to do the trick for me.

I'm having a hard time finding anything I really like... it's like all craving for old food is gone and I have to force myself to drink water lol... but I do wish I had beef jerky... and I'm finding I love the smell of food... I'm 1 week post op...

I don't miss soda. I'm doing enough burping already! I can't imagine.

Sweets! My sister have cupcakes, my favorite ice cream Cookies N Cream, donuts and candy everywhere. Not once have I've been tempted! It's really amazing especially since my cycle is tomorrow. My cravings get out of control around that time and I be PMSing hard! I use to eat two huge symphony bars back to back and have a stash of heath bars and nutty buddy bars. It sustained me until my cycle was over. Now I don't give all these goodies a second glance. Hope it stays this way FOREVER! Now if I can only feel that way about carbs, mostly mashed potatoes and Mac n Cheese...

Sweets, carbs, straws, diet coke.... I'm shocked. And don't at all feel deprived as others say. Love it!

I wish I was like you guys. I miss everything.

I really thought I'd miss drinking while I ate. It really doesn't bother me. I don't get in as much liquid as I did Bc I'd guzzle throughout my meal and refill my drink at least once. But it doesn't bother me and I don't really miss it. It's just more of an inconvenience of sorts. Lol

I initially hated waiting to drink after eating but I've actually gotten used to it. It's crazy how you adapt

Lucky you, I still miss carbs - chips, bread, rice. Thankfully cannot eat much of it.

1. I very rarely miss sodas which is saying something because i used to drink at least 2 - 3 per day.

2. I used to love the sauce heavy pasta's at Red Lobster. Now the thought of it makes me feel a little queasy. I prefer the potato Soup, a salad and 1 piece of bread

3. Steak was another favorite that I rarely miss. It doesn't agree with me (hurts my chest, even the soft steak that comes on the McDonald's bagel) so I rarely eat it. In 3 months I think I've had steak like twice.

4. Sandwiches. I don't miss them. I've had 1 Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich in 3.5months.

5. Eating out. I used to eat every meal out most days. Now I'm finding that I prefer home cooking because I can control my portions and make it to fit my tastes.

6. McDonald's was a staple for me. Now the idea ofc a greasy double cheeseburger isn't appealing. I never crave it

7. 5 pump, whole milk vanilla latte every day. Now I have a regular (2 - 3 pump) vanilla latte once every other week. Usually I drink half (4oz) and toss or give to husband

8. Being fat. I thought adjusting to my new body was going to be very hard and I would miss being a sz 18 because that's where I've been so long and was comfortable and accepted it was me. Nope, losing my lbs has been great. I don't miss the fatness.

I used to miss diet coke. However, last week I drank something carbonated-not soda, without thinking about it and I had bad gas for hours LOL. Don't want that again..not worth it.

Ice cream, subway, whiskey.

I find myself still cooking like crazy for the family. I have always gotten great joy. I would say taste testing is what I miss. It's hard to judge the dish without tasting it but baggy pants I put on , make it worth it !

Bread and pasta ; even though I can technically eat them, I have no desire to do so. Sandwiches are a thing of the past for me . I don't miss them either

Coffee! I'm only 2 weeks post op, but I thought I would really have a hard time without my cup of joe! My husband and I would always get up a have a cup (or several cups!) of coffee early in the morning before we woke the kids up. I've been drinking decaf green tea instead and having a warm cup of something to wrap my hands around seems to fulfill my fix!

I don't miss soda..or bread or pasta..pretty amazing considering what a Carb addict I was previously
