Expierence eating this things after the sleeve?

Hi Erika! So let m just tell you, I feel where you are on a spiritual level, in my soul. I was the same way for the first few weeks post op, I just wanted all my old habit foods and like Kairk mentioned I watched lots of "food porn" cooking shows, those "Tasty" youtube videos that buzzfeed makes, yeah I felt pretty nuts for a few weeks.

Sushi is okay if you have it sashimi style without rice, but I will tell you I had it that way about 2 weeks ago and it did not sit well, at all, so I may wait awhile to try that again.

Pizza, I make a cauliflower pizza crust, literally just as good as regular pizza to me and it's very easy to make if you can follow simple directions. It is a bit higher in fat (but lower in carb) and you get protein from the cheese and other toppings so it's an occasional food, but you can have it sometimes and not worry about it as much as having a traditional piece of pizza with all the carbs and crap additives.

Hot dogs, well I'd personally wait a bit farther down the road if I were you for processed meats like that, the first time I had summer sausage after surgery (which wasn't until I was into the solid food stage) was also the first time I puked from food after surgery, not so great.

Tacos, yes if you can go without the shell, or if you want to do lettuce cups/shells. You just take romaine or butter lettuce leaves and use them to hold the taco insides, you still get crunch just no carbs and super low calories on the lettuce.

I didn't eat Subway even before I had surgery they have given me food poisoning the 3 times I have eaten there in my life, so we're not friends lol.

Spicy is tough, you may have to take that slow and baby your tummy til it's fully healed because spicy may irritate it, but once you're healed you should be okay, I had some hot wings the other day and they didn't upset my tummy at all.

Just know you're not alone pretty much all of us have gone through this intense food craving stage, it sucks, but you can work through it. You might want to look into therapy/counseling  or over eaters anonymous  because that can help you differentiate head hunger from real hunger, which I at 3 months out still don't feel hungry and have to force food down sometimes when I don't want to. Ask your surgeon's office for a referral or recommendation for a therapist who works with WLS patients or people with eating disorders. Good Luck!

Thanks to everyone for your very insightful answers! I am in fact on that stage where I'm fantasizing about every dish ever created. And those TASTY Facebook videos are killing me! I know my body won't like most of the food I used to have but I'm secretly hoping there is one or two things that my new tummy will accept later on for a sin every once in a while. (I'm praying for pizza and tortillas haha). Anyway thanks for the tips and support! It's great to hear all these things since I don't know anyone who has gone through this process and it gets tough on occasions.

Good luck to all with your goals :) 

The clear liquid protein shake only was very hard to do!  I smelled all my families food and dreamt about food a lot. But after that phase I'm no longer hungry and the thought of food no longer bothered me I guess once I could chew on something I was fine.  I can eat chicken salad, egg salad and refried beans now and cottage cheese so I'm all good, no more dreaming of what I can't have. It'll pass.
