Can you eat some yogurt? It does help with the cravings for sweets.....Or Sf pudding or Jello. I still drink or eat a Protein Bar when I want something sweet. Don't give in to your head hunger. Now is the time to tame it.....Distract yourself with something else or call a friend....:)

Try fruit (herbal) teas. That's pretty much all I drink these days. I love Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry and berry Zinger flavors.

Eat some Soup, it's filling and it fills like you are eating a lot of food... To help with the head hunger. Make a peach and yogurt smoothie for the sweet. Good luck

I am sorry you are feeling do upset. You have folks to depend on here! We are all going through this mental battle and we will get through it together. ;). Keep your chin up! Reach out when you need something. There are many great recipes out there. What do you like??

Try this...I've been loving it, on the purée food stage.

2 oz of lowfat ricotta

1 or 2 packets of Splenda

A few drops of vanilla or almond extract

Mix and freeze, just until it starts getting frozen. Tastes like the inside of a cannoli! Almost no carbs, and 6-7g of protein!

I dont usually crave sweets. im usually a real food lover... Cooked food... But im craving maybe a fruit cup, Cookies, chocolate, but has to be something soft. At this point I could care less about the calories as long as I can tolorate it and not get sick.... Maybe a piece of toast with jelly or even better pb&j sandwhich.. ;( I know I cant have these things its just what I want

I dont know what riccota is...

Ricotta cheese, like what's in lasagna or stuffed shells. Soft, mushy white cheese, like cottage cheese. Usually in the refrigerated section of the store near sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.

Won't be sweet if you eat it plain (Ricotta). It reminds me of cottage cheese, only dryer. How bout plain or vanilla greek yogurt, mix in Tblsp. of lowfat/low sugar Peanut Butter then swirl in SF Jelly of your choice and viola! PB + J!

      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.
