For the First Time

[Vickie1177]

In a year and a half I wish I didnt have this surgery.

I am so craving a Steak and Cheese with extra chees roasted red peppers and carmelized onions in a nice well done toasted SUB ROLL. I am not a steak person but once and a while I want one. My instincts are telling me to go to the nearest sub shop and get one. I can see it now I will get it and I will get stuck on the first bite.....

How do I fight this

I have the perfect solution!! You are in luck, as I am a fellow Bostonian and still on my Red Sox high (mostly from lack of sleep these past weeks) and NOT banded.....I will be a bud and have this steak and cheese for you!! lol

Sorry hon, wish I has better advice! Can you just do the steak, cheese and fixings or do you need the bread? This is usually what I do, it's a big plate of mess, but it usually scratches my itch!! Now I'm off to eat that grinda' for you!!!

Vickie,
I'd do what Debbie said, have it without the bread! Eat it slow and chew chew chew! Don't doubt that band girl. I remember how excited you were about those old navy jeans that you bought the season before and fit you this year! Don't deny yourself, just do it "smaller".

AMEN!!! Deprivation, in my opinion, is not the way to go unless you have allergies of course. I think I would do it without the bread and see if that works. Not sure how this works for everyone else but most of the time if I have a craving that is not the usual stuff, it ends up that I have been low on protein.

<small hijack>Um....Beauty....if yer low on protein, maybe Pat can help??

ok....back to the thread......

And btw....I agree about the no bread thing. I do that often!

Vickie I have been able to get a steak & cheese sub and just eat the inside part - well part of it anyway. As long as I cut it small and chew it well, I have no problem. How'd you make out?

[Vickie1177]

I am trying to fight the craving however I said to myself if it is not gone by today I will go and get one. So tonight after I bring my son Trick or Treating I will go to the Pizza Shop and buy one. I will get a large because my hubby will have the other half. I will not touch the bread but I will indulge in the extra cheese and peppers and Onlions. I am thinkg about adding mushrooms to the mix to replace my bread :) I am going for it tonight :)

[SheryBery]

LOL...you'll be looking forward to that all day Vickie! Enjoy!

So I went to the nearest sub shop to my house. I ordered a small steak and chees extra cheese with red peppers and onions. So I asked the guy at the counter if he could make it without the bread so he put it in a container for me. I get home and I take my son out for trick or treating I come home and get him all settled and put my steak and cheese on a plate I sit down and I eat half of it. I put the rest aside for the hubby. No problem with it going down at all. So anywho later that night I ended up with indigestion and diareah. I think it is because I have not had something that heavy in god nows how long.
So needless to say the next time I have a craving for something bad I will look back on this day

[SheryBery]

At least now you know! And you didn't deprive youself.
