Do You Crave Sweets???



Recommended Posts

I am almost two weeks post-op. I have been doing really well with Portion Control and choosing good high Protein food, but I am finding I am CRAVING sweets! I have NEVER had this kind of crave before. In fact, I really have never liked anything sweet....no candies, pies, cakes or anything like that at all...not even fruit! So, what is going on with me?

I was talking to my regular doctor today--she has also has a lapband--and she says she craves sweets all the time. My SIL also has a lapband and she craves sweets too...Ughh! I surely hope this is just a passing thing, because I have never had to deal with this before.

So, how about YOU????

Oh! I was given the GREEN light to STOP ALLLLLL my medicines due to my weight loss!!! Yippppeeee!!!!

I "crave" chocolate all the time! I don't think it is my bands fault, just me, my tastes and my hormones.

It is really weird for me...because things that I have never liked before, I am drooling over now! And things I loved before are just not that appealing to me now. It is so strange! Maybe it is hormones for me too!

I'm finding the opposite since banding 7 days ago. Hopefully it sticks!lol

I only drank Water with a flavor enhancer, but now I want it plan.

What I also have noticed my sense of smell has been enhanced too. If chocolate was in the house, I'd smell it.

      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.
