If you have cravings for specific foods it is a good idea to speak with your weight-loss team as we may be able to help you find acceptable alternative selections. Some of the foods you may be craving may not be easily digested or part of a weight loss regimen. In addition, patients who have had gastric surgery may miss the sensation of eating various foods that were formerly part of their regimen. Try to find ways to occupy your time and replace eating rituals or habits with another activity like exercise.
