Sometimes. I try to stay focused on what I am supposed to be eating and mostly do not miss anything now that I'm in it. But some days I miss food. Actually more the amounts of food than a specific food itself. Even when eating something healthy that tastes really good, sometimes I'm like "I'd really like ONE MORE BITE!" Or seven (teen) if we're being honest. lol But .. still worth it!!

I had a few of those concerns before surgery. My biggest hang-up was Diet Coke, and after surgery, I haven't missed it, at all. Actually, I don't think I've been concerned about the food I can't eat, but rather, how MUCH I can eat. I enjoyed eating a few slices of pizza, but now I have to learn to eat less and savor more. I don't recall if you are are a sleeve or bypass patient, but as a sleeve patient, I know there really isn't anything that I can't eat if I don't want to. Some things may not sit well (like 2 oz of cheddar cheese, which I found out the hard way) or things with a lot of sugar.
When it comes down to it, for me, as I mentioned above, I think I miss the amount of food I was eating, not necessarily that I can't have a particular food or not. I think that is just going to take time as part of the process of building new habits, which is why taking advantage of this honeymoon period is so important.
