I know what you mean, I'm pre-op and the Dr wants me to lose weight before I can have surgery and between commercials and food days at work, I want to scream.

Soda is the only thing that I really crave. Everything else is easy to stay away from, but I crave soda all the time! Thankfully for me, I tried a few sips, and it tasted yucky, and made my tummy feel gassy. So I know I wont be able to drink one, but I still want to.

By the way, DONT crunch on ice! My mom was an "ice eater" for years. She would crunch on cups full of ice every day. She RUINED her teeth. Broke several, and cracked others. The dentist said eating ice is a common cause of cracked teeth.

I have craved sodas a couple of times, but not forthe past couple of weeks. I hope I am really through that addiction's withdrawal!

I'm craving pizza. I am 4 weeks out.

I'm about 6 weeks and suddenly craving pizza. I keep hoping my daughter will get one so I can try a single bite. Today I took fresh mozz, a slice of Tomato and some basil and stuck it in the toaster oven broiler. Yum. Not pizza but yum.

I wasn't a huge soda drinker pre op, but when I have school (once a week) I would get a soda out of the vending machine. This last week I was at school, for the first time since surgery, and stood in the hall just staring at the vending machine. One of my classmates walked by, looked down the hall, kept walking, and came back, she walks over and puts her arm around my shoulder and goes "Come on, It's OK, you don't want it anyway" and we walked back to class lol

I made the most delish cauliflower pizza crust! It wasn't exactly the same as real pizza, but satisfied my craving! And I may be the minority, and I'll probably get bashed, but I have soda once in a while. I take a can of diet coke, let it go flat for a day or 2, then sip it when I have a craving. One can lasts about a week.

I want a nice cold beer when it's hot out. Really miss that. I tried a tiny sip of my hubby's glass and even that was too much. No beer for me.

      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.
