I have been craving a soft taco from taco bell about a wk and it's driving me crazy, I am so attempting to just taste a piece to stop the head craving, have u guys tried something that u were craving I am 3 wks post op

I've been having horrible cravings, but at the same time I don't want to eat (even though I want to eat). I'm not doing well with my water/protein intake so decided to slow it down and refocus on that stage and give myself a few more days/week to heal. I also have to work on eating slowly...the gas I get when I do eat is horrible. I was hoping I'd be that person with no issues with food...but that is not the case. It's hard to be patient. I am three weeks out (well on Monday) and I am mourning food like you would not believe.

I've had a lot of cravings as well. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery. What I've been doing is Google imaging my favorite foods and looking at them. It's helped me a lot. My husband thinks it is torture for me but I think it helps me fight the desire to eat what I know I can't. It's hard but I think each day it gets better. I used to love sweets and that is the only thing I do not crave at all.

The only thing I crave is In n Out. But, when I go with the family I can't eat is bc the smell alone makes me nauseous.

Oh do NOT do it. Trust me the dumping is NO joke. I would hate for you to find this out. Just TRUST me on tat one.

I am 22 months out and still having a problem with food.

I do get cravins, too.

Sometmes i give in and i end up regrettin it.

I do remember my first taco bell. It was 4 months post op. I had 2 bites of a regular taco, Just cheese and meat. 2 bites and i was on the toilet AND throwing up at the same time. Not fun at all.

Try just to wait, 3 weeks is way to early, my opinon. If you give in to the cravings you are gonna be in the same boat as you were before surgery.

Good luck!
