Cravings

How far past surgery are you? Is it really worth it if you don't dump? Then you will keep eating all the foods that got you here in the first place. I personally would rather avoid the poison and find something you can enjoy. I will be praying for you.

Dumping is horrible!!! I've had it happen daily because I have yet to learn how to slow down to eat. But I had a horrible dumping episode tonight and I thought I was going to pass out! Stay away from dumping!!! It's horrible!

@ sappewife26.....you really just have to learn to pace yourself eapecially in your early stage. I know it can be frustrating at time but maybe while you are eating read or so something that occupies your time. I have learned one as I am eating I might need to take a deep breath just to allow myself to slow down and two eat in stages especially at work break my hour lunch into 30 minutes then and hr later finish my next 30. To just have to figure out what works for you because everyone is different!!! Just slow down and breath!!!! Lol...hopefully it will gt better because dumping is a horrible feeling

      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.
