Some people get acid production in the sleeved stomach which they interpret as hunger pains. Are you taking a PPI such as Prilosec or generic for reducing the acid? I take 1 a day every morning.

I never took any prilosec. Now I have some in my medicine bag and a supply at da house but its all just incase I need them. Try that. Good point btw. I never think of that because I never had a acid problem or hunger issues.

The back of the bottle says it takes awhile to start working

You are early out, so I"m gonna give you some crazy advice....do it honey. Eat whatever yummy crap sounds good to you :) It will NOT agree with your tummy (specially since you say youve had issues with foods getting down already) and you'll likely kill the craving for some time!

The other night we had a bunch of house guests. A ritual is a nightly "cap" in the parlor. I used to have baileys on ice. So I was drinking my hot oveltine (I was low on protein) and decided to put a shot of baileys in it. I couldn't drink a quarter of the thing. A few sips and probably the sugar...I was nauseous. I normally drink oveltine so it wasn't that. I then tried it one more time just to see...same reaction. I guess baileys and I are no longer going to be friends. I have no craving for it after feeling that way either!

It's amazing how a "little" nausea, or even vomiting, will take care of some cravings! Lol

It'll be a long time before I eat another onion ring.

Omg ibeen craving funyons

Let me be the first to tell you. Pre op I hated chocolate. Now chocolate is awesome. *note: I only eat dark chocolate*. I never ate any junk food preop either. But that goes to show that our tastebuds change. I used to love milk. Now I dont drink it at all. Just be prepared to have a change of heart of a few things. Good luck and happy experimenting

Starches (potatoes are included in this category) are your likely culprit. They are empty carbs which are almost immediately turned to sugar in the body. Also white carbs have this magical ability to trigger cravings for more carbs (like Funyons). Corn is both very high in sugars, and very hard to digest.

If you can abstain from white carbs (rice, bread, potatoes, pasta) and fried foods for 2 weeks you find your cravings will become much less intense, and more manageable.

I am a raving carb monster right before TOM. I feel like a crazy person sometimes and want to eat everything in site. I best defense is not to keep things like that in my house. Also, it is true, the more carbs you eat, the more you crave it. But you are not crazy, it is very common for many women because of our lovely hormones!

But today I have promised myself that I will not have one grain of popcorn! So I feel ur pain girl! But we can get thru this together!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
