There is nothing wrong with potato. It is a good whole food. But when they take it, break it down, dehydrate it, powder it and then reconstitute it with chemicals into a stylised 'perfect' format of someone's ideal potato chip they have gone a step too far IMHO.

Think about this when you are craving Pringles. What you are in fact craving is chemicals. And the human body shouldn't crave chemicals, it is something you want to beat for your own health.

That has to be the best answer I would have never thought about it as chemicals. In fact that kind of makes them sound nasty Ty :)

You also might have that subconscious thing of I CAN NOT HAVE IT SO I WANT IT thing that a lot of us have done in the past when on a diet.

Your also going to deal with your normal habits I too as a chip person I would eat them over sweet stuff any time so I get it.

This is a test run you say so don’t beat yourself up about it just work through why you feel you need them so bad is it because your telling yourself NO or is it because you really did eat them all the time so withdrawing from them?

You could also be craving salt on my pre op diet I had to have a salty drink everyday which was a gravy stock cube with hot Water like a cup of beef gravy stock lol

So it could be as simple as needing salt and that’s your go to salty product.

      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.
