How far out are you post op? I'm in Louisiana too and my Dr is in New Iberia and my food plan shows seafood weeks 4-5. Crawfish will probably be 3-4 tails depending on size and amt you normally eat.

Who did your surgery? Did your dr tell you to take Prilosec or another acid reducer? The cravings are probably head hunger, but I am in no way an expert. I'm 20 days post op and I've had no cravings and I haven't been hungry at all. I get lots of tummy gurgles but the dr told me its stomach acid and its my new stomach waking up and getting feelings back after being cut. He prescribed Prilosec

My problems right now aren't being hungry (thank goodness) it's not being able to drink enough fluids or eat enough to maintain my Protein requirements.

The Protein Drinks make me so full and bloated & gross feeling, after an ounce or two that I can't even sip Water or eat ice chips for several hours afterwards.

I wouldn't advise them at 6 days out for sure. In a few weeks you should be allowed to have soft meats like fish and shrimp.. I'm 6.5 months out and had about 10-15 yesterday but I was eating and talking etc etc

I'm so glad you asked this! I'm up in Shreveport and scheduled to have surgery next Monday. I've almost been mourning not being able to eat crawfish again this season and now I see that I may get to eat them again this year after all!! I'll take only eating a few just as long as I get to eat them again :) Good luck in your recovery! I can't wait to be there with you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
