Food cravings



Recommended Posts

So to be honest I’m two days post op and I know I have a long way to go before I can have foods that I’m craving but I’ve been craving carneasada fries really bad and idk how to kick it out of my head. Do you guys do well with red meat later on? I know the fries are out of the question but it’s mainly the mean I want. Please anyone who has had red meat or knows the kind of craving I’m talking about. Please send advice!

I eat steak. Is that red meat? Keep yourself busy don't do it. The risks of leaks are dangerous

Right after surgery I did not experience physical hunger but my brain was so wrapped around food I tortured myself for hours on end watching Top Chef.

I fantasized about steak, gourmet foods of all kinds and home made bread in particular.

It was a useful process to discover how much my life was oriented around food.

It helped me to go for walks, journal, and most importantly have a sense of humor about my life

It’s frustrating because I never realized how good orientated my life was but the craving is just stuck in my head and probably will be till I’m allowed to have it

      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!

      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!!
