I had gastric bypass a few months back. I try not to eat anything that I crave. but,right now I want green olives. I also want some crab sticks from the fish market. So I just text my daughter to buy me some olives. I won't go as far as getting the crab sticks. I had so shrimps for lunch today., I also plan to have ox tails for dinner tonight. so what are you craving for a snack or dinner tonight?

I just had my second child. During my pregnancy, I had gestational diabetes, so I had to go on a strict diet. I mostly had to cut down the carbs that I ate and eat according to how my dieticians advised me. It was a hard road, but I made it through. So now that I do not have gestational diabetes anymore, I can eat what I want!! So the past couple weeks I have indulged in the carbs that I could not eat during my pregnancy. The other day at a birthday party I ate 2 pieces of cake plus a cupcake on top of that. I crave any of the sweet bad carbs like no tomorrow!! But I know I have to watch it . . . oh but I do crave them!

Thank you! That's great you don't have those sugary cravings anymore. Although I don't have the gestational diabetes anymore, I do have to watch it . . . I have a higher chance of getting regular diabetes for the rest of my life. So I really should stop hording these treats. Let's go for craving the healthy stuff!

I had the worst cravings for carbs before my surgery. Now I am so happy that all that has changed for me. I no longer crave the cup cakes and sweets. I barely even want sugar in my ice tea. I hope you continue to have good days.

try not to eat too much of it. I know just how good the stuff can be. it is so hard for me to not eat it at all.

I'm craving for pizza right now. I could really eat a whole box of extra large family size pizza without anyone to share it with. I would prefer an all-meat pizza. Problem is there aren't any stores open yet so my appetite needs to wait a bit longer.

I can't imagine eating that much pizza. I hope you can get at least a slice soon.

I had shrimp with pasta for lunch today. I have not had pancakes in 4 months. That would be great with butter and milk.

I am almost finished with my food now. I will only eat one ox tail so don't feel bad. I never heard of gizzard soup before. I hope it tastes good.

I crave a nice big bowl of mocha ice cream. But I've been doing okay on my diet so far and I don't want to have to exercise extra tomorrow because I gave into my cravings today. But I did have pasta with shrimp for supper, haha!

I would really like some dessert. Maybe a hot fudge sundae, or a brownie sundae, chocolate cake... So I guess I want chocolate! I think I'm going to bake some chocolate chip cookies as we speak to fix this craving!
