Ok, for a while it was oatmeal with dried cherries and pecans. Had to eat it all the time. Loved it. (still do, but getting bored)

Lately I want refried Beans with cheese melted on top and a bunch of salsa. Not really craving the tortilla, so don't bother with it.

But the beans! Love them lately.

Wonder what that's about?

Sometimes I also want avacado, lettuce, Tomato, onion, cilantro and lime.

But for an on the go lunch? Beans with cheese and salsa...has been really good lately.

Never would have eaten this before. Cravings have changed so much in the last six months. Weird!

What brand of refried beans do you favor?

Good eats. Had some reduced fat colby jack and hot homemade salsa.

I like to save my fats budget in all things "taco" for healthier avocado fat:)

I'll have to pick some up. One of my twins makes an absolutely kick-@ss salsa. I still can't eat it :47_tired_face: I did manage to eat about 12 black Beans with my cilantro-lime chicken last night. Yeah! Can't wait until my portions get a bit bigger.

Our brain/bodies do some crazy things. Usually cravings are caused by your body signaling that you need something that a particular food might provide. Sometimes they are caused by hormone imbalances of all things. And then there is the addiction part, where your body craves the endorphins caused by eating certain foods. Sounds like you've got a handle on satisfying the craving while staying within your WLS requirements which is awesome.

I almost always crave beef after working out, not sure why beef, but pretty much every time I walk out of the gym, I want a burger.

      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!!
