This is funny that this post is here because today I am in that stage and I am craving something crazy. I found something to help. Healthy choice has a new Greek frozen yogurt. It is amazing. Low calories and low fat and lots of Protein. I told my nutritionist about them and she said they are fine for me. So there you go a sweet tooth satisifier.

Not that I crave, but good to know. Thanks!

A girl i work with used to be a weight loss consultant, she told me to curb the cravings for sweet things to have a little of something very salty. What she suggested was a small dab of Vegimite on the end of your tongue. It works for a short time. And for those who don't like vegimite, it might just put you off food for the rest of the day .lol :)

I guess it is time I really start reading these blogs/forums daily. I am new to this lapband life....I am in my 5th week post-op. I've done well and felt so in control until this past weekend. My first PMS post-band. I have binged 3x trying not to give in and felt like a failure. THank you all so much for sharing and letting me know that I am not alone. Deep breath, read some more tips, journal....and now I shall forget the past 3 days and try to move on. Knowing that I can give in a little bit might just stave off another round of binging. Thanks all for being so honest and sharing your journey!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
