DITTO! I actually melted some chocolate a week and a half after surgery and had a tablespoon just to kill my craving. I feel your pain! These Protein Shakes aren't doing it for me at all!!!!

Yup, cravings can be pretty bad the first couple weeks, be strong, it gets a lot easier very soon.

My craving was Five Guys burgers. Now they're building one in my town, and it doesn't even bother me.

i feel your pain also. i sit and watchtv all day and food commercials omg. and my normal habit when i am home from work is to order something good and sit and watch tv and doze off to sleep, REWIND that didnt sound pleasing to me as i wrote it what the hell judy. i dont want to be that person anymore dang it. yes i want to eat yes i want to eat stuff i use to eat but noooooooooooooooo not only my sleeve needs to heal i need to heal from putting food first in my day. i refuse. god give me the strength to get past this.

but what makes it harder is the hunger i get so hungry that doesnt help, i thought the hunger was suppose to go away. when will this happen someone tell me please.

Don't do it ladies....lol.....it is so not worth it! Stay strong....the sugar might kick you out of ketosis and slow your weight loss. How far post op are you? How much weight have you loss so far?

I am 10 days post op. I lost 17 lbs the first week and nothing since. Ugh

@ Shelly. Don't loose heart - it ebs and flows. I am at about 30 lbs. (about 6 weeks post op) 53lbs total since beginning my journey. Take it a day at a time.

I have been fortunate and have not had any cravings since surgery almost 3 months ago. If you can make it 3 weeks, that usually gives you enough time to solidify a new habit. It is kind of strange for myself. I used to be a big apple fritter and old fashion donut eater before surgery and the I lost all cravings after surgery. I think the preop diet helped a bit to get the sugar and fat cravings out of the system. I eat very basic now and have lost about 90 lbs. keep holding on a bit longer despite the cravings. It is totally life changing to not have food controlling your life any longer.

I hope to not add back in processed sugars. I haven't missed them since preop shakes started 8/21 (surgery 9/4).
