I haven't had surgery but I've found that if I deny myself I always do bad long term. Maybe instead of NO sweets you do a sensible/small desert once every two weeks. Then phase to once every month, then eventually only at certain events.

I keep a couple of packets of Weight watchers 100 calorie choc chip mini Cookies handy just for days like that.Usually a packet like that is jus enough to satisfy the craving IF I EAT THEM SLOWLY.I have forgotten to slow down a few times and they were gone way too quickly to satisfy my craving.Now I enjoy them slowly!

Nabisco also makes the 100 cal packs of Cookies.< /p>

the only other thing I can suggest is to go on a carb cleansing diet. I know when I eat too many carbs I tend to start craving them. If I go back to high Protein and get past the 1st set of withdrawals I do better.

One of the perks of the sleeve is that it is SOOOOOOO easy to stick to my eating plan. If I get off track one day, it doesn't derail all my efforts like it did pre-sleeve. I also don't need as much of the food I am craving to feel satisfied. I will eat 3 bites of cheesecake and am happy!

      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.
