eating bad

is anyone else having cravings for foods we shouldnt have??? Kim

Not only am I craving it i'm eating it but as my Dr said we arn't on a diet we just need to make wise eating choices and don't deprive yourself a treat now and again or you will just want it more and more. Now though I can stop with one or two cookies instead of half a box. Marcey 255/188/250

I don't think it is making bad choices....it is giving us a treat once in a while...yes we are all craving different stuff...but hopefully just one or two cookies vs. a whole box...we can do this...we can..we need to remember we did not have brain surgery...so it making smart choices...my dear wife is trying not to bring in the junk...instead of potato chips...soy chips...pretzels...we can do this...yes we can...Kim you are doing a great job...if you think you fall off the wagon, once or twice...don't forget tomorrow is another day...

You are not alone..... last night hubby ordered pizza and breadsticks. I thought "That sounds so good- I can eat that" BIG MISTAKE- it tasted great, but 20 minutes later, it all came back up. I decided it is not worth feeling like crap just to feed my cravings. One of my problems is that I don't really get dumping syndrome from breads or sweets, so I am really tempted to eat that stuff sometimes- I just pray that doesn't get me into trouble. If my sweet tooth is acting up, I try my hardest to find SOMETHING that is sugar-free that will satisfy me! On the brighter side, for lunch I was craving a club sandwich, so I made myself one using whole wheat pita, turkey, roast beef, cheese, light mayo and turkey bacon. It was SO good, and I was able to get plenty of protein in without feeling guilty about what I was eating! Good luck and keep your chin up!

Yeah I have cravings. But instead of overindulging I just take a bite and that's a lot different compared to how I was prior to surgery. Keke
