My eating habit have improved greatly since getting my band in April. I used to drink LOTS of diet soda, for example. Now I might have one or two a month, and I rarely crave it. (My doctor says a diet soda once in awhile isn't is fine.) I used to want fast food ALL the time. Now I couldn't care less about it. I don't even crave my all time favorite -- McDonald's french fries. I rarely even want chocolate or other sweets.

However, there are certain foods now that I crave that I never did before -- peanuts, mexican food (mostly nachos), and popcorn. Maybe it's the salt I am craving, but it seems weird that my tastes have changed so much.

Anyone else have new cravings?

Sushi. Never ate fish of ANY KIND before my band ... in fact the thought of a creepy dead fish on my plate repulsed me. Now, I can't get enough of the stuff. I eat sushi about three times a week.

Also ... red/yellow/orange peppers. Crazy, I know. But I LOVE them now.

I am eating like an adult ... who knew?

For me, it is LIGHT chocolate SOY milk...can't get enough! It is low in fat and has decent protein...has sugar though.... When it is ICE cold, it tastes like a milkshake! YUM!

Chicken livers. I ate them for a week, maybe 10 days. Hadn't liked them that much before - or since!
