Cravings Already (Day 5)



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 2/7 and my toughest battle has been the head hunger. I've found that talking it out with a good friend has helped. I find myself getting frustrated not being able to eat this or that. Nighttime is the worst but it helps to know that it gets easier with time. Hang in there!

Had to attend a social event this weekend though I am less than 2 weeks out. I couldn't believe how food centric socializing is and I really had to fake it. Despite being super careful, I ended up indulging ...1/2 an asiago bagel with cream cheese, nacho bar, and a small piece of chocolate cake. Being around food was hard and I craved just a few bites..before I knew it I was eating considerably more than id have liked to. :(

I'm on pre op diet, 2 days left, damn it feels good to say that! My pre op started pretty bad, cravings, mind telling me things would taste amazing. I kept looking back on my life. Did I really enjoy that? Did I need that? Did I NEED that? Nope. Not at all. Determination is where it's at, get your mind in the right spot. Remember everything that's hard right now, and then imagine a world you live in where things aren't so complicated. America has become such a foody type nation, everything we do revolves around food, so much that it's killing our children and loved ones. I got tired of living to eat instead of eating to live.

I was on day three yesterday of my pre-op diet. My dad TOTALLY pissede off. I had been really wanting Texas cheese Fries from Cheedar's and Movie popcorn one last time. I seize the opportunity. Before I went, I have a fajita salad with pico de gallo. I was basically full at tht point. I had two bites of Tx Cheese fries, a couple of handfuls of popcorn, and I was done with it. This morning, I woke up and I'm back on track. Did I do the right thing? NO. But, what's done is done. I'm eating my premier chocolate Protein Shake this morning and eating my Jello. The end LOL

      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.
