Pre Op Diet Started, Craving Food



Recommended Posts

Day one of liquid diet had a EAS AdvantEdge shake this morning and Water. So far I'm ok but WHY is it that all I can think about is food? !? It's like I'm having a food funeral in my head. Is this normal?

I have not done that diet yet but I have done many other liquid diets in the past, and it is definitely normal! Think back when your parents or teachers or someone told you you could not do something that you really liked doing? Did it not make you want to do it even more? Then all you can think of is that one thing that you cannot do. It is also your body and brain getting used to the idea of not chewing and not eating the normal stuff, but it does get better and then unfortunately worse at times. Keep in mind your short term goal (a safe surgery and speedy recovery) and your long term goal (to loose weight)! You can do 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.
