Cravings



Recommended Posts

Hang in there Amanda. For me it got better as soon as I started eating soft foods.

I'm not condoning this' date=' but when I was on full liquids I licked the flavoring off of 5 wheat thins. My God it was good, and I was satisfied. My dog ate the freshly licked wheat thins and she was happy too.[/quote']

Hi Amanda,

I definitely don't recommend feeding wheat thins to a dog.

Thats a great idea! As a nursing student i spend long hours in school, did anyone buy some portioned to-go containers? How many timesdo you guys normally eat in 5 hours

I was going to say 'head hunger' as well. It sounds like you are 'craving' savory foods. The taste of chicken broth sort of did the trick for me post-op. I would take the chicken paste (I forget the brand name) and add hot Water to the salty level I wanted so I had a good strong taste of it. Sounds strange, but it seemed to work for me.

Did you guys buy baby plates that are sectioned off ? I would love to find a compartmentalize plate that is 4 oz

Target has perfect 4oz servings.... As far as plates, I just bought baby spoons/forks... But they also have baby plates that are perfect sizes as well... Try Walmart, cheapest I've seen... Or dollar stores :)

I remember feeling so incredibly low around that time and I think I was really missing food. I felt like I was starving. I totally agree with the poster that said ur missing chewing. This was it for me! I wanted crunchy, darn it! Focus on soft foods and jazzing them up when it is appropriate with ur diet.

As for plates- I saved money and just ate off saucers. Just think of the money u will save on plates and food. It can go into the new clothing fund.

In regards to chest size- omg! I have shrunk tremendously. When I first began I was a 40DD, now I'm a 36C. I'm smaller than high school! I never saw that coming! Lol.

I know about chest size girl I started at a 42 F and now I'm fitting a EE lol I would love to be a C!! Can't wait!!

      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.
