I am a week out and have had the same cravings. Frankly, I don't think I can eat it ever again. :( It sounds like the ultimate slider food and gives you nothing and takes away your momentum. When I had my big weight loss prior to surgery, I felt that my success was due to me limiting my diet to foods that were "good" foods for the diet. I ignored all the "bad" foods and this saved me a lot of heartache!

My Dr requires liquid only for three weeks postop, then puréed for 2 weeks, then soft to normal foods a couple of weeks after that. I have been spending some of my time in this liquids only hell to try to find out what the "good" foods will be when I can eat actual food. I have been pleased that I found quite a few things that will replace Mac and Cheese!

      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.
