coolnessa22 26 Posted March 8, 2013 So My Pre Op Appointment is only a couple of weeks away and I have been winging myself off of certain foods and drinks. I quit soda, alcohol, and now just stopped drinking coffee and that's a big one for me. I am trying to stay focused but some days I just want something sweet and don't know how to fight the craving. I was just wondering how you all fight the craving and stay on track or what substitutes you use? Need some motivation and support, please share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannalee 65 Posted March 8, 2013 I am almost into my 6 week pre-op diet which is mostly Protein Drinks. What I have heard that helps with the sweet tooth is SF pop-cycles or SF Jello. It's the one thing that you'll get to eat after the surgery so it might help before. What helps me is I use a little more Mio in my Water. It makes it sweet and helps me with my craving. I have quit everything like you but the soda is the one thing that is difficult for me. Considering where I was 4 months ago I have quit a lot of things that are bad for me. Can't wait to hear how your pre-op appointment goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lissa863 74 Posted March 9, 2013 I make a protine shake. I mix pure choclate flavored protibe with almond milk and ice and blend. It makes a milkshake like taste. Love it. Sometimes I add a spoon of Peanut Butter.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
