Hi Shelly

I do understand and its very hard not to allow those bad habits to creep in.... I find myself eating crap at times a piece of chocolate, cookies(animal crackers) chips.... you cant totally deprive yourself but everything has to be done in moderation. I am not quite 2 months postop will be on Feb. 28th. I had a visit with my surgeon office last week shared with his assistant that i find myself eating sweets. I am i believe wanting these things because i can eat them without complications and just dont stop myself.... I believe that we have to not buy these things or skip the desert table at work.... I am trying to find Protein bars that tastes great but is also sweet/salty so that i can take care of my cravings( at least it will be healthier and protein) Best of luck and cant wait to hear what others may say. Dont get discouraged keep running the race and using the tool that has been given to you wisely as much as possible!! Hugs

Hi Shelley. I think all if us get what you are saying. We all have gone through life not stopping or eating the wrong stuff. But YOU are strong enough to get through this. Your body does remember those feelings of glory we momentarily get from our favs! I agree I will never stay away forever but need to ensure my head will let me stop!

Make the change tonight. You are ok. If its there in the house get rid of it. Start over today!

Good luck :)

Personally I feel that if you try to deny yourself everything bad to eat it will become increasingly difficult to fight the urges. I try to find a way to have a taste of the bad things once in a while but keep it in moderation and adjust the rest of my diet for the day accordingly. Good Luck.

      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.
