OK...still have food cravings. I was craving a rib eye steak, potato and corn on the cob. WFT...2 bites of steak, one forkful of potaotes and 2 bits of the corn and I feel like I'm about to explode. In about a half hour, if I don't feel better, frothing will begin and I will have to throw up to feel better. Good to know pouch still works. I basically eat what I wan but I;m full after 2 bites, I eat about 800 calories a day and I've been a size 10 for about a year and a half. I began at 230 and I've been 171 for almost 2 years.
Still cant eat any volume of food which is good. Bread and rice remain out of the question. beef is hard to handle. Chicken, pork and tuna ok but I fill up really quickly. Hope this last the res of my life because at almost 50, I LOOK FABULOUS!!!!

Craving something isn't uncommon, neither is eating a couple of bites and being full. That part is good! I now eat 1 piece of chicken. I used to eat CHICKENS! not pieces! LOL!
I am well over 60 and look like crap but not a blob any more thanks to my RNY! Life is great!
I still crave the good stuff: steak, seafood, ribs and cheese, and the best thing is since I eat so little of it, I can afford it once in a while! LOL!
Wait until the T-bones go on sale, and turn one into 4 meals, one tonight, 3 for the freezer. Whoo hoo! Anyone can afford 1 King Crab leg. That and an artichoke and I'm good to go! A half rack of ribs gives me 2 dinners and 2 lunches. So good!
Love these changes--don't you? Glad you're doing so well.
