Cyndie Shares How Food Cravings Have Changed Since Gastric Bypass Surgery (VIDEO)

Cyndie:

My food cravings have changed completely. From the very first day in the hospital, to the food that I had to eat, to what I can eat today, have completely changed. I find it interesting because even the things that I am not supposed to eat, if I take a potato chip and I eat that potato chip, it does not taste the same as it did before the surgery, and I just don’t want it.

I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t know if everybody is that way. Of course I crave all the things I used to eat, and I have tried some. You know, I have tried some things. We’ve gone out and gotten a hamburger and it’s just, it’s not as good as it used to be and I don’t know why. You know, I don’t know why, but it just isn’t. It’s not the same anymore. It doesn’t have the same flavor. I don’t know, maybe because I am not gorging on it. I don’t know, because I think that’s all that was before anyways; just see how full you can get, you know?

I never was a sweet eater–ice cream, cookies, and all the stuff. I never really was. My thing was drinking my calories. Starbucks, any form of coffee that was cold, Coke, that’s where a ton of my calories came from. So that’s my sweets. But I have been fine without them.

I actually thought that Coke would be the thing that would kill me the most and it hasn’t affected me at all, not at all. And, you know, I am just fine drinking water or Crystal Light or whatever I have got to drink, but mostly just water and that’s fine.

I crave those particular foods, the healthier foods because I went through a lot to get where I am, and why am I going to blow it, you know? I love, and when I say ”love” I mean love meat. Steak and baked potato is my favorite thing on the face of earth. I haven’t had one in a long time, but, and I don’t know if it will taste the same again. I haven’t tried it. But it doesn’t seem to be as important to me now as it used to be.

I made tacos for dinner the other night, and I used ground turkey meat. And it was so good, and the funny thing is, I didn’t tell my husband; I didn’t tell my kids, and they all ate it, and nobody had a problem with it. I mean, everybody had a great dinner, and I was even able to eat a taco. Now I don’t need to eat more than one taco, but, you know, before I used to eat five tacos, and one is perfect. That’s just right, so me and my 5-year-old both had one taco and that was perfect.
