Hello every one. I'm Sharonda and I had my gastric by pass on March 12th

I have the same problem. I am almost 3 weeks post op. I find myself looking at food online, dreaming of food and these cravings are REAL! I always call my dad or my friend , whom also had the gastric bypass. They help me by talking me through it. Also I was told to join a group like this and it would help me stay busy and focused off food! My dad told me this after my surgery "Food made us the way we are. There is a skinny you just waiting to come out! Show food that you are able to fight it's craving. NOW LET THAT SKINNY YOU COME OUT!" I often say this over and over in my mind. I have never been skinny but I am so looking forward to it! Good luck to you!

My doctor told me during my pre-op that my bathroom habits would change. Drinking the liquids, along with the laxative, was helping to flush your large intestines before your surgery. Question for you...were your bm's watery during your liquid diet?

I had that same problem. I am 2 1/2 wks post op and on the full liquid diet. My father, who had the surgery 14 yrs ago, told me to take a wash cloth and put white vinegar on it and wipe you tongue. It worked for me! The taste will come back but repeat as needed.
