I'm on day 8 of liquids and 5 days alway from my surgery. Last night I was craving a cheese burger so bad!! Had to remind myself about my surgery and this is for the new me. I didn't have cravings until last night. And of course, today that is all I can think about and i have to keep refocusing myself during the work day.

Any one else on preop liquids and have any suggestions on cravings?

To this day, the only thing I ever really crave is a good burger. I'm post op, but remember pre-op well. You have the right attitude, stay strong.

In 5 days you will be craving liquids and the thought of a burger will make you nauseous. ;)

Hang on, you are almost there!!

I'm three weeks post op and my saving grace while on pre op liquids were the sugar free Popsicles. They reminded me of dessert so any time I started to crave REAL food I'd break one out. Something to actually chew on!

I thought my pre op weeks were harder than the first week of post op...and you are almost done...keep it up!

You are gonna ROCK this!

Hope you are well.

I am 11 weeks out. Every day I try and have a homemade slushy. I use the Magic Bullet fill it up w/ ice and put in two squirts of Mio liquid enhancer...the Orange or Lemonade are my Favorites and blend it helps me with my liquids and if I'm bored and hungry I make myself one and it takes the craving away. oh I eat it with a spoon and I take my time with it its like a sugar free snow cone :) Hope it helps and good luck man you are doing great!

      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.
