I am jonesing for Diet Pepsi right now. I really think that is the one thing I am missing the most.

How about you?

champagne. I would have a bottle on the weekends.

Chocolate! I love the stuff. The weight loss center I go to offers a "Health Wise" Hot chocolate mix (I gotta find out if other stores sell this!) and I drink one cup a night to keep my craving for chocolate down (I save one of the Snacks I'm allowed for this, and it's got only 80 calories/15 grams of Protein in it!). Good stuff, but I definitely miss a piece of chocolate candy every now and then. I did sneak a piece of my son's chocolate Easter bunny, and it didn't kill me, lol. My fear is that if I have a little, I'll start wanting a lot.

I also miss having a glass of wine when my husband and I go out to dinner. I can make healthy food choices, but I really miss that wine. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.

Subway, believe it or not!

alfredo fettiniccini! i will not even try pasta for a long time if ever, i'm too afraid.

i eat sugar free chocolate pudding so i got that covered.

I have always been a diet pepsi girl, but after having my second baby I tried Diet Mountain Dew and was hooked.

I gave up soda last November when I started this process so I have really not craved it..that was until a friend was over and brought a pepsi with her. it was just for a few minutes and the craving was gone...lol

I just miss whole foods and breads. I had my first fill yesterday so I get to try some whole foods real soon. I was on full liquid for 24 hours and I think I'll take it real slow until I'm sure it's going to go down well.

But breads, my precious breads. I miss sandwiches. I miss garlic toast. But the thing I don't miss at all is the extra weight. So, guess I can live without the carbs.

Fountain Diet Coke. Not from a bottle or can...it always tasted the most delicious to me from a fountain, with lots of ice. Haven't had any soda for over two months. Most of the time I don't miss it, but when DH and I go out to a restaurant and he gets his Diet Coke, I want it. :wink_smile:

Soda, especially from the fountain. I gave it up as of Feb 4th, so I've been without for almost 2 months and I still miss and crave it. I used to drink all kinds, Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, whatever. No diet though. LOL

I also miss bread. I tried to have a tortilla the other day and it didn't feel very good going down so I'm not trying regular bread anytime soon. Otherwise, everything else goes down pretty well and I don't really deny myself anything, just have a tiny portion if it is bad. I have sugar free pudding and 35 cal fudge bars to help with my chocolate cravings. I know that I won't cope well if I feel denied I just don't overdo it. A small handful of chips (5-6) is way better than 1/2 a bag!

Oh, I forgot to add one thing I really miss--popcorn! I'm scared to try it, plus I don't like it plain. I love lots of butter, especially movie theater butter. A couple of bites would be nice, but like I said, I'm scared it will get stuck so it just isn't worth it.

:wink_smile: I am a beer fan, too, HarleyGirl! I had a glass of red wine a few weeks ago, but I've never liked wine as much as I liked beer -- not much of a drinker anyway, but on occasion it is nice. Oh well, I'll have to get used to it.

What I miss:

Lots of pita bread dipped in hummus..

Garlic bread with a big boal of my famous bowtie spagetti and sauce..

Pepperoni and olive thin crust pizza...

I dont care about sodas or beer or champagne..I never really had any of that stuff anyway..

Somebody mentioned popcorn.. I did try a handfull of un-buttered popcorn about two weeks ago and had no problems with it, but I was WIDE OPEN and hadn't gotten my first fill yet. I probalby wouldn't try it with a fill.

I miss my java chip frappucinos from starbucks, a VERY expensive not good daily habit, no wonder I was FAT!:wink_smile:

I don't miss anything. I can eat popcorn. I can eat bread. I try not to eat those things because they cause me to gain weight.

I could say I miss pizza, but it's been so long since I have had it, I have forgotten about it.

I gave up soda for Water and I don't miss it. That aspertane they put in diet sodas is really bad for us.

I have had popcorn. I waited until I was on solids and ate one piece at a time and chewed very well. It was strange to eat it like that rather than whole handfulls crammed in my mouth, but for an occasional treat those buttery bites kill the craving. And by occasional I mean for example I have only been to the movies once in 2 months. I do miss STROMBOLI. I used to get it alot. Thick doughy pizza dough filled with bacon, cheese, bell peppers, and a special ranch sauce then each end folded over, cooked, and sliced up. YUMMY but I cant even imagine the fat and calories. Its so good a friend of mine once told me the first bite was better than sex. I do miss that. There is no way that bread would go down. Oh well nothing tastes as good as losing weight feels.
