I am 17 days post op and this week for the past 3 or 4 days I have been craving for food at night. I do very well during the day but for some reason at night, I just start craving for solids. Last night I was craving and I had some broth but it made me feel nauseous. Is anybody experiencing the same or felt this way post op?

I remember having cravings at night. It was hard. Before my surgery I always grazed at night after the house went quiet.

Try and make sure you get your required intake throughout the day and if you have... just try try try to resist.

If you just need something and cannot resist maybe drink a lil of a thickened Protein Drink.< /p>

It gets easier so hang in there!!! :)

Try drinking something or sugar free popsicles.

I usually have sugar free Jello, weight watchers cheese, or just a couple of Keebler fat free crackers. It does the trick. Try it! Good luck!

I always had a "snack" at bedtime, too. It was usually something HORRIBLE to be eating right before bed like Oreos or some other sweets.

I have to make sure that I have a Protein shake or (most often) a chocolately Protein Bar to take upstairs with me for bed or I find myself craving sweets in a bad way. Or even a sf chocolate pudding. I just plan it into my day now.

yeah, I have been trying the Protein shake and I think that helps a lot. Plus I also try to always keep in mind what I have been going through before and after the surgery to remind myself it's not worth screwing it for some food that might even make me sick after all. :) It's hard but we should keep trying.

      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.
