Anyone craving 'no-no' foods???

I am still on pureed until 08/23/04 after I see the dr. I had mac -n- cheese the other night when I went out for dinner. Getting real tored of soup. I don't know if it was the cheese or I ate too much but it was the first time I got sick. Any one elses have a problem with cheese? What I miss the most is being able to have a glass of wine or a mixed drink. Tried a mix drink last week and was up all night with a burning sensation. Won't do that again for awhile!

Kimberly, maybe it was the pasta in the mac and cheese. I know a lot of people cannot tolerate pasta after surgery. I heard that it has a tendency to expand in the pouch and therefore cause a very ill feeling. I'm getting a little bit sick of pureed foods too.... Hugs, Nancy

When I was 1 week post op I had a terrible craving for a weenie sandwich. Mustard, onions, the whole nasty thing. I dropped it into my Vita Mix with 1/2 cup lowfat milk and made a mush. By dipping the spoon in it and licking it a few times got that craving out of the way! Joy

yes. every time that wendy's commercial comes on about the salad that sticks to your ribs all i want is a chicken tender! I saw some "natural" doritoes in the store the other day and really wanted them! I did buy some Russell Stover no carb chocolate peanut butter cups. There are no sugars. I have eaten about three of them...very slowly, basically liquifying it in my mouth. they are wonderful! I had two sips of champagne this weekend to celebrate the beginning of my weight loss with my parents. after just two sips my cheeks were beginning to feel that warm tipsy feeling...no kidding. I stopped after two because i didn't want to dump or anything!

YES! See my posting from today! I still have foods I crave but modified it! Please check it out!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Lord, Yes! Ever since I had my surgery, in the hospital and when I came home, the commercials for Ball Park Franks gets me every time. And I don't even LIKE weenies!!!! It's just that they look so good on the grill! My mouth starts to water and then I spend the next 1/2 hour trying to get the image out of my mind. Oh, Lord, here I go again...another weenie fantasy!!! Will I choose smokey or garlic??? HELP ME!!!!!!

Pass me the peanut butter!!! I am almost 5 weeks out and I can't wait to eat a bite of a pb&j sandwich. LOL Since I came home from surgery I have wanted anything with p-nut butter in it. I am really scared to even try it, it's so hard to swallow for a normal person, let alone a person like us. I have also been tempted by hot dogs, but I find that if I just take a huge smell of something I am craving that the craving actually goes away. Nothing tastes the same anyway so why hurt yourself. Peanut butter is my favorite food and smelling it doesn't help much. LOL I am so glad I am not alone here. Take care
