I will miss you cornbread.
Have been doing pretty well in the months leading up to surgery and, as I am coming up on 4 weeks away, have not been too terribly tempted to have food funerals. However, we made cornbread to go with a delicious homemade beef stew for dinner. This is definitely a food funeral. Hot buttered cornbread is like crack to me. Limited myself to 1 piece but know with certainty I cannot let this one back in.

I had chili when I was out on Saturday and it came with cornbread. I had a bite and thought, "Huh. I guess I haven't actually missed this." It's sort of strange the foods that I thought I would miss terribly, but now I find myself not caring about even 8 months post-op. Like pizza. I thought I'd really miss it every day. And ice cream too! But I find that they pretty much never cross my mind. So strange.

Holy crap, Gwen. I ate chili on Saturday and it was also served with cornbread. I took a bite as well and didn't enjoy it because it wasn't slathered in honey butter and was therefore dry. It is interesting how our tastes change after VSG, and I'm happy for it.

Iam almost 5 mos post op and I don't really crave anything. My new thing is mixed nuts eat about an oz at a time do to fates. Before surgery I never ate nuts and hardly ever ate pb. I haven't ate pb though bec ause it has a lot of fat.Out of my sons Halloween candy I had 2 candies and im good don't feel the need for more. This is a really weird new mw. lol month before surgery I ate everything in sight because I thought I would never eat again. Ididnt have to do a pre op diet and I took full advantage. good luck to you its hard sometimes but not hard everyday.lets do this
