Does anyone else have what is a strange food craving? I rarely, like maybe twice in the last 10 years, have had a McDonalds fish sandwich, but right now that is the only craving I am having for several days now. Strange.....but I feel like I could devour one! LOL

At what point does stop spazzing out when you drink. Doesn't matter the kind of drink, the temp, or how slowly my sleeve spasms and goes crazy everytime. Sometimes it's painful, most of the time it's just uncomfortable. When does your sleeve chill out?

I've been hanging for hotdogs, KFC, McDonald's & Hungry Jacks! Lol! I didn't eat them before surgery but I think it's the fact that I actually can't eat them now? It's a mental thing for sure.

I had very little urges the first week after. It was after I started the puree that the craving began. What I have noticed is that even if I am craving, as long as I have something small - 1-2 tsp I no longer have the cravings.

Has anyone else that had surgery in early March moved to food now? I've been allowed since Tuesday to move to mostly everything chewed well... salad is on my ok list but I'm kind of scared to try it?

I haven't had any problems with anything and I measure 1/3 or weigh out 3 oz, usually I stop at about 3/4 the way through....

I've been getting my fluids and aiming for 65g Protein a day, my dietician never gave me any guidelines for Protein just to eat them first... I never even had Protein drinks on my plan..... After Clear liquids I started drinking Protein shakes to ensure I was getting some... I'm down 25lb as of yesterday at my 1 month since surgery!

I'm 5'2 and am aiming for 135, the RN at my Drs office gave me a goal weight of 150 because she said too many times do wls patients choose a goal that isn't what there body should be at and are disappointed when they gain back some after reaching their personal goal, she said that she would be happy to see me reach that.. I told her I would reassess my goal when I reached hers! But to even reach 150 is crazy to me!!!

So anyhow I don't do social media, so I haven't joined any fb groups just come on bp to read everyone's journeys and such!

Mistycal,

Sorry can't help you there. Had my surg on March 22. Finishing up my week of pureed and moving to soft foods. I started moving to soft foods about mid-week as the pureed was just about gagging me. I find myself basically mashing what I am going to eat with a fork and taking small bites and that seems to be working well.

I am interested to hear what others have to say in response to you, as well as your experiences yourself. Have 2 weeks of soft foods then I am at the stage you are at. I totally understand having some apprehension.
