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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
