... and has the band helped you to overcome those cravings?

My food weakness is the potato, in all of its various forms. More specifically though, chips. Potato chips have been my favorite food, for as long as I can remember.

In the past, I've been known to sit down with a large bag and finish it off in less than 30 minutes. I'd have still been hungry afterwards.

I'm amazed by how long a bag of chips can last in my house now lol. The bag currently sitting in the cupboard, has been here nearly 3 weeks and is still half full.

After picking my daughter up from school one day, I was having a huge craving for chips, so we stopped at 7-11. Got two tiny bags. Less than halfway through my bag, I was completely stuffed.

I'm loving this band heh

Yeah I actually think half the pleasure in some of those naughty foods is cramming them in fast. I find if I tell myself to slow down, I often cant even be bothered eating them. Chips are meant to be eaten by the handful, lol.

ICE CREAM!! I've only had it a few times. Unfortunately the band does nothing to restrict it AND even worse, a Baskin Robbins is opening about 1/4 mile from my house! My all-time favorite flavor is from there, and I won't even mention it. The other stuff I love is really hard to eat (cake, pastries, etc.)

Karen said the BAD WORD. ICE CREAM. I need it. I want it. Must have it. LOL!!!!

Definitely, my biggest food weakness is ice cream. Confession: before banding, I ate probably 2 cups every night! And I'd throw in a Sonic Blast (ice cream blended with M&Ms) about 3-4 times a week, if possible! The other weakness was bowls--huge bowls--of cereal. Now, if I eat cereal at all, it's about 10 Frosted mini-wheats in a little tiny bowl I used to serve condiments like pickles or something in! What a difference! I have eaten ice cream since the band, but it's like a 1/2 cup...and I'm satisfied! What a concept! Cindy

Beef Sausages!!!!! I love them spicy, mild or whatever. I love em boiled, fried , baked yum, yum. I also love Hotwings!!!! Cheesecake, Cheesecake, and more cheesecake!! Plain no toppings. Yum YUm last but not least I absolutely adore my mama's collard greens(yep I am down south yall) . This may sound healthy collards are a vegetable, but my mama puts all parts of the pig in them yyyyyummmyyyyyy. I am talking Hamhocks, pigtails(maybe I am grossing some of you out but this is my favorite dish). I also love chitterlings(chittlins'). I love everything unhealthy ....yep that's about it. LOL

My weakness is food. FOOD. fOod. FooD. fooD. foOD fOoD FOOD FOOD FOOD. It never goes away.

Chips, chips and more chips! I love salty things!

Don't like chocolate to much.

Oh, I love fast food! Taco Bell. Burger King, Arbys! Oh MY!!

....erm ....not to put a downer on things but .....um, isn't this a bit like alcoholics discussing their favourite cocktails?? hmmm?

my weakness food WAS fried potatoes, and nutella!

Loupyloo: I've been to some open AA meetings; and that's exactly what they sometimes do. When they tell their stories, they describe what they drank & took. I guess we're no different.

Sorry, Penni, but ice cream is my fave. Maybe I can burn down the baskin robins they're building?

oh how I miss Chinese food...........I have tried it once since being banded, and couldn't even get two bites of a chicken finger down.

Mine is ChOcOlAtE ...Any type of chocolate...yummmm.

Also Jess, I can still eat chips as in potato chips, but I cant eat hot chips...weird!! But good, because chips and gravy were a down fall for me too.

Am I the only person in the world who cant stand ice cream?

I never was an ice cream freak UNTIL I got the band, go figure.

Since being banded I eat about 1/3 of what I use to eat.

steak...rare,still moo-ing steak....can't eat it anymore...(sad face)
