I've read that a lot of people on here don't even want to eat bread anymore or other "bad" food, etc... but I still do. I can't stomach anything more than some Soup, some Popsicles, so of course, I don't want to hurt myself and eat bad stuff,

But I still want them. I'm craving something different every day. I want fries. I want a burger. I want some Chili's Honey chicken Chipotle. I want cupcakes!

I know they are bad for me, I know the commitment I made, I know all of that. But I hear so many people say that they don't crave that stuff anymore, so why do I? :-(

I spent two nights in the hospital, and I the first day after returning home the only thing I wanted was a Butter Burger from Sollys in Wisconsin. I live in Las Vegas! I told my husband we should get in the car and we could get there in a few days. Of course we didn't go, and I could never have eaten that Butter Burger, but my head was all ready. The cravings didn't last long, thank goodness, but when I had them I was very funny. It's now been 5 months and my food is under controll and I weigh 60 lbs less than I did at the start of this journey.

I'm 6 weeks post-op and I feel the same way! It was a rough day today :/ I found myself wanting to munch on some chips, craving a cheeseburger and fries and pizza- all of it! Oh and the donut too...

This is a hard journey; my cravings have not disappeared; I almost wish I could be my old self for a day so I can eat all the delicious food I'm missing-

      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.
