I’m just happy have not had any fried food in a little over two months and I’m just so happy I do not crave it any more. My family eats it in front of me a lot and I could care less. I’ve found freedom because of my decision to have surgery. I’m very grateful I was able to have it done. Tomorrow I see my doctor after 7 weeks post op. I hope he approves me to start working out again tomorrow. Really looking forward to start working out again.

I can relate! I'm so thankful that the cravings are gone. It makes the changes a lot easier.

Yes ... no deep fried foods (except for 4-6 hot french fries at a few meals) since surgery.

I do have an occasional fried egg but I use a light film of extra virgin olive-oil not a 'pool' of oil or butter.

I have minimal desire for anything fried these days.

They are greasy and yucky and I don't understand what I saw in them. R.W. it is now Panczi season, pronounced Punch-kee, an Evil Bavarian donut of Polish extraction. Although I resisted the call of the boxed donuts in the supermarket aisle the other day the Panczi display kept trying to get my attention And even said "Hey sweet stuff, I'm over here" considered knocking them on the floor but didn't want to get in trouble with management. So I said "just shut up" and kept moving toward the door.

Hahahahaha. My wife loves Panczis but knows she only gets to have one a year. I still love a donut but it doesn't love me back so it's really rare to even try a bit of one. I told a friend that yeah, I can eat it, but I pretty much have to do it on a day where I'm okay with being miserable for the next 6 hours...lol.

We tried some Chinese food from a local place we always used to order from (this about a month or two back). Obviously I didn't eat much, but even the little bit that I did wasn't enjoyable. Gave me heartburn and made me feel blah for the rest of the night. Needless to say that'll be the last time I ever have it from there. I used to worry so much that these would be things I'd miss and couldn't live without, and here I am now not caring at all about it. That's a nice feeling to have.

Tried two doughnuts/donuts in my 62 years, one when I was about 11 yo and the other when I was in my late 20s.

They were terrible oily crap foods then and I'm glad that I never liked them.

I'm looking forward to experiencing that kind of thing, because there are a lot of foods that I'm afraid I'll crave but can't have when I'm post-op. (And deprivation has certainly never worked for me before) Chinese food has always been my birthday/Mother's Day food...
