Cravings!

[ChristianMomma7 13]

So I had to do a 21 day liquid diet... and now that I've had the surgery I have so many cravings... did this happen to any of you? How do you calm them down? I am doing pretty well but I feel like I constantly have had to push away cravings. Is this because I haven't had any real food?

Also, when you start eating soft foods what is your usual meal plan? How much Protein shakes should I drink? Right now 2 baby spoons of something soft makes me pretty full. Its weird though.. I mean to be full when you remember just how much you used to eat.. so nuts! Anyway, I'm wondering what meal plans you all are doing. Also, at the end of this month I'll be clear to eat normal (well, small normal lol) again... whats that like? How much and how many bites?

So thankful I'm not alone LOL! Yes, and even worse its always someones birthday or a party is happening where a ton of extra pizza is available... haha and everyone says OHH sorry... this must be torture for you. I just say no, I'm used to it.... and inside I'm thinking I'm strong and I can do this and I will be so happy later on. Eat to live, not live to eat
