I eat actual seaweed. You can get little snack packs at any Asian market. 15 calories, 1 carb and no fat. It's an acquired taste but mmm mmm so good.

Ok sounds weird but when I crave salt I peel a lemon and sprinkle some salt on it. It's sour and salty but do good! Pickles also fight my craving.

I also LOVE SALT! I have salt cravings and I love all kinds of salt - except for table salt! Have you ever tried a smoked salt...yummo! I keep some himalayan pink salt crystals at work. If I need salt fix, I will dab my finger in a little bit of salt every once in a while. Probably not the best thing, but...it works and I'm satifying my salt craving without adding any more calories. Another yummy thing is to have some edamame (soy Beans - protein) with some good quality salt. Don't ever use regular table iodized salt = ick! After you use good salt that table stuff just tastes like sulphur.

That is my salty two cents.

Oh, yes, seaweed Snacks are great also. Asian markets have them as does Trader Joes!

I've found a drink of Pickle Juice helps my salt cravings. I'm not up to trying seaweed yet. ;)

      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?

      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.
