To the filthy liars who say cravings go away

And to those others who lose their hunger either for good or for a long period: Those of us who never lost it HATE YA'LL. It's what I hate the most. The fact that I'm still hungry - most of the time, since I can eat very litte, I'm hungry more often. And for those of u who have lost it and say "It's just stomach acid. Take a PPI". Not only am I already taking a PPI 2x a day, I KNOW the difference between hunger and stomach acid. I'm 46 yrs old. I know the difference - and it's truly hunger.

And yes, I still get cravings. Mostly for Mexican food about once a month. Luv the saucy, spicy, cheesy goodness. A few bites will do it for me now tho...

I don't really have cravings anymore. Before my surgery(several months before) I did a sugar detox. I loved sugar. If I were to have drowned in a silo full of sugar, I would have been okay with it. I can look at cake and miss it, but I don't get obsessive and hangry and needy the way I used to when I was on the stuff. Similarly my husband keeps ice cream in the house and it no longer bothers me. But I will say it took weeks to really detox myself from the sugar. And that first one was a bad one.
