HELP!!!! DOES ANYONE GET CRAVINGS??? B/C I DO!!!

I HAD SURGERY ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2008. WELL, AS OF YESTERDAY, I HAVE BEEN CRAVING CHEESE!!!! IT MAY BE ALL MENTAL, BUT I REALLY WANT SOME CHEEZ ITS, OR ALFREDO SAUCE...SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I AM GOING TO ADMIT THAT I DID WARM UP A CHICKEN ALFREDO "SMART ONE" TV DINNER AND ATE THE ALFREDO SAUCE OUT OF IT ( I KNOW, IM GREEDY...BUT I COULD NOT HELP IT). MY DOCTOR STATED THAT I COULD START ON MUSHY FOODS STARTING MONDAY, BUT I DONT KNOW IF I CAN WAIT THAT LONG.

ALSO, EVERYTHING THAT I AM DRINKING OR EATING IS GOING DOWN FINE. IS THAT RIGHT??? IS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE ABLE TO EAT OR DRINK WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER ONLY 2 WEEKS???? PLEASE ADVISE ME BECAUSE IM FEELING LIKE A REAL LARD BUTT! LOL...

Yes I am the same way. I am on anything that can be mushed with a fork. Just whatever you eat make sure you chew chew chew and it should be ok. I have even had a few crackers. Everything is going down just fine. Just make sure you stop when you are full.

I had my rny on 9/23 and have been trying different mushies.  Actually, I am pureeing everything except the cream of wheat (which was heaven!)
Some other things I've tried that have gone down good were Roast beef hash and turkey chili.  Eggface has some good suggestions on her site.  I was craving anything with more substance than liquid and have been enjoying these new foods.

Knock on wood, I haven't had any trouble with anything yet.  I eat very slowly with baby spoons and only have small portions (learning to listen to my body).

Good Luck to you!!!

Thank you for your replies. I thought that I was the only one!!!

Hi there!!
tomorrow is 3 weeks for me and I haven't gotten sick at all.  I have tried cheese and ground chicken and chili and nothing seemed to bother me.  I am not really having a problem eating, but I do get that hiccup thing sometimes in there.  a couple times I had a little discomfort but I'm not sure what it's from yet.  My band is not tightened yet so who knows!! maybe it's in my head. next week I go for my 1st fill and hopefully I will be able to tell what's good and what's bad. 

oh yeah, after 2 weeks I was feeling fine.  be careful though and don't eat too much!!
eat whatever feels good but onl 1/4 cup at a time.

good luck with everything!!!

you are not a lard butt!!! soon you will have no butt!!!
