Craving Food

[neeve 12]

Im 7days post op doing really well on all liquids but as I am sitting here I wish I could have mac and cheese, tuna salad, and baked chicken. I know there isn't a protien shake out there to help that craving and I know soon I will be able to have a small amount but gosh that would taste so good right now. lol

Its so crazy I guess cause before we could just eat heck even if I had 2 fork fulls of each lol....I can't wait until we can again just this time we will do it in moderation

Have a SF ice cream or a cup of broth. Yum it up on the taste of either one! You'll be able to eat soon and all this will fade into the mists of time. I know it's tought, but it's SO worth it!!!

I am 7 days out. liquid diet for 2 weeks. (I go to pureed on my birthday next week!! Killer gift for sure!) Y'all are so right!! This is hard but worth it. It's easy to get caught up in the cravings for sure. I find myself salivating over commercials and the other day I definitely cried because I wanted pizza but knew I would NEVER risk it. Who cries over Pizza? Lol this girl!. I've found that diverting my attention onto something else helps for a while but it also helps to kinda face the craving and addiction head on so when it comes again you are stronger. It got easier the day after when I saw a pizza commercial. I kept saying "ewwww look at that nasty thing" hahaha my husband thinks I'm a weirdo.

Im the type also to cry over pizza lmao!! And thanks Marmar now i want carne asada tocas lol

Ya, the first month was hell for me (2 weeks Clear Liquids, then 2 weeks full liquids). It shall pass though.

[Rochelle2012 1]

I totally understand. I could have sworn I could smell pizza and french toast on my first week. But then again I was watching a lot of TV since I was off from work and every other dumb commercial was about food. But it did pass and now that I'm in week three I'm just excited to be able to eat "real" food like eggs and chicken! Hang in there, it's worth it!

[ChristinaRose 26]

EXACTLY! haha At this point I'm most excited about being able to semi-chew anything. It makes you push harder to complete this phase the best possible. GAH! chicken on the brain for real! Guacamole cravings something fierce lol

[lovemeforeverapril 1]

Girl I feel the same way I miss eating I know this too shall pass but 3 weeks is a long time on liquids! I was wondering why can't we have coffee with caffeine ? So you know why

I told my family that for 3 weeks they would be on their own for food. They have been really good about eating out & not eating in front of me. This past weekend I started to cook & we are eating together again. When I'm watching TV, I switch channels if a food commercial comes on; I find myself wanting to eat after I watch one!
