i was sleeved 4 months ago and I've been having terrible cravings when Im on my period. I never really had a problem with it before surgery, but the last 3 months when its that time Im hormonal and constantly craving chocolate, and when Im not only period Im fine. I've talked to my surgeon who said he's never heard anyone say that and my nutrionist said its normal, but it drives me crazy constantly craving chocolate and salty chips! i try to stay away but it is near impossible :-( after no answers from my drs i decided to take it into my own hands and try an adipex.... OMG it was like my head went from constant screaming cravings to quiet!!!!!!!!!! has anyone else used adipex after surgery? and do any other ladies feel my pms misery?!?

No its not otc I had a script filled a while ago before surgery and never finished it. Im gonna ask to get it refilled and just take it when Im on my period i think. Im hoping that as i get to my goal my body will adjust and i won't need it, as it got worse as i loss weight

      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.
