Do you find yourself eating more food and junk before pre-op diet? Lately I find myself craving junk and seems like constantly. Im constantly telling myself no as I never even craved stuff before so why now?

Most people whether they admit it or not went through phases of eating a lot and junk leading up to pre-op because you are thinking you may never get to eat that stuff again. It does get easier but there will always be some things you just have a hard time avoiding.

I didn't eat junk at the end because I had to loose 50lbs before I could have the surgery.

I had to fight my head a lot with thoughts, like I will never have this again

I will never be able to eat that again. I also had to fight a lot of crazy

thoughts about what my last meal would be. When I quit eating junk food

I felt bad for about a week, I really think I went through withdraw from the junk food.

I must have be addicted to all the fats and sugars. So my suggestion is to

get the junk food out of your system before surgery, you don't want to go through

junk food withdraw wile recovering from surgery. I am 7 weeks out from surgery

and food is the last thing on my mind now. Good luck and for me the surgery went very easy.

      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.
