What do you miss more than anything?

[Kim2BSlim]

I miss bread alot, but I absolutely loved my Coke. I miss Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Root Beer. I shudder at the thought of drinking one of those high calorie, pure sugar drinks now..but I dang sure miss them! Especially a fountain Dr. Pepper from McDonalds....oh somebody help me! LOL

[Willi333]

Can't help you - I'm sitting in the exact same boat

What would I do for a nice fresh, warm French Baguette bread with all kinds of stuff on it and a ice cold Coke Zero

Buuuut ... we are strong, we an do this

[mona-camille]

warm rolls with butter, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

and baby ruth bars

But..................I am finally losing weight so, they are a big TABOOOOOOOO

[yoyodieter]

BEER BEER AND MORE BEER...

[Phoenix]

*not filled yet*

Just Diet Coke for now.

[Kittycat]

"Not filled yet either"

I would say Diet Coke and McDonald's french fries...I tried a fry and it got stuck, so I learned my lesson...no more fries!!

[BeBe]

The only thing I've had trouble eating so far has been chicken - and that's because I didn't chew it properly, and ate too fast. So there's not much for me to miss.

I used to drink Diet Coke ALL the time - but I gave it up when I started the pre-op and didn't miss it, so it was obviously just a mindless habit and not something I particularly loved. Good thing!

Oh wait! I know something I miss! BOOZE!!! I can drink it, but I'm so mindful of calories now, I have only had 2 or 3 drinks in 4 months. I want my cocktails!!! Boo hoo. :lb12:

[Dontondan]

I miss my bread and french fries!!!! I try them every so often, but usually end up in the bathroom! Sometimes my cravings get the best of me.

[lynzz]

I'm with BeBe, I miss booze.....I used to look forward to my Friday Grey Goose and Tonics...I miss buffalo wings and chugging water

[karenlynn79]

I miss chinese food so much! While I was pregnant (and obviously totally unfilled, boy was that fun!!) I had GOOD chinese food about once a week. And I miss salad bars alot too. Lettuce is just too hard, and I like a packed salad with big chunky things, I haven't even tried, I know it would be pointless!

[PAMMIE]

BEER BEER AND MORE BEER...

YES, A GIRL AFTER MY OWN HEART LOL

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEER, YOU'LL GET THERE TOO

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I MISS AS I EAT IT ALL JUST IN MODERATION NOW

[Blazn]

GARLIC, CHEESE BREAD!!! ( ( (

[momonamission]

The thing I miss the most is not food. Strange I know, but I miss drinking while I eat. I do not care if it is tea or water or something else. I always got most of my fluid in while I ate. Now I struggle to get in fluid. I do not drink near enough and always feel thirsty while I eat. I miss that most. The food I feel like I can have anything in moderation but drinking while you eat is a big NO NO.

[Blazn]

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh and fresh glazed donuts!!!!

[my_friend_amber]

I miss the bacon, egg, and cheese bagels from McDonalds. Can you even BELIEVE how we used to eat!!?? Puke! (but i sure do miss that bagely goodness sometimes!!)

[Phoenix]

Oh boy. You made me remember. The Eggs Florentine Breakfast English Muffin thingy at Starbucks.

Remembering MamaMichelle's link and the sticker calorie shock, I looked it up.

It isn't evil! :lb21: At 380 calories, it's many, but my daughter will happily gobble up half. 190 calories!!! Better do that one before first fill. It might not go down afterwards.

[banded4life]

Diet coke, chocolate, and cigarettes!

[Phoenix]

Diet coke, chocolate, and cigarettes!

Why did you give up chocolate? Newbies need to know!

[banded4life]

I am trying to give up refined sugars. Occasionally I will have a Weight Watchers ice cream or something made with Splenda. Since my fill, I can't eat much and feel like I need to make every bite count.

[lynna]

I would kill for an ice cold beer!!!!!!

[denisem]

I haven't had a fill yet, so most food still goes down at this point. This will hopefully change on Monday (my first fill). I would have to say I miss diet coke and drinking anything with my meals. I'm with Mona-Camille on this one too!

I miss going to my favorite Chinese food place in town. Now, they're not like regular Chinese places, they actually do have a lot of healthy options - I just don't trust myself to go in and make them! I'd be too tempted by all my old favorites, like the lo mein and beef and broccoli and egg rolls.

[julieburns]

Since I am relatively new to this band, after my first fill a week ago I am just having a hard time. I am sort of "mourning" the loss of all the food I used to be able to eat....anything and everything nothing really specific. I eat a bite or 2 of something and then feel that terrible pain in my chest that stops me cold. But I am so wanting to eat more in my head. I know I need to retrain the way I think about eating and I really don't want to be fat forever. I really don't want to eat the amounts I used to either really. I guess it's more of the emotional eater in me being put to death. Which is a good thing in reality. I just miss enjoying my cooking with my husband. He also misses my cooking as I just don't do it much anymore. Not just because of the band but I also work swing shift and am not home at his dinner time. We both are making sacrifices for my weight loss.

[Mackenzie]

Man! I wish that i missed more than i do! haha I can still eat anything....i wish that i missed bread! However, i miss drinking while i eat.....ad when i first started this I really missed over eating, but I am so happy with my band! Its benefits really outweigh the few cons!

[BeBe]

I eat a bite or 2 of something and then feel that terrible pain in my chest that stops me cold. But I am so wanting to eat more in my head.

That's where I'm at right now. I feel pain, not fullness... and after 2 bites, I don't feel like I've eaten enough and try to force down a couple more - and then pay for it!

This band thing is HARD! LOL!
