Try a chocolate Protein Shake and see if that will help curb the craving. That is what worked for me. If you are not on a liquid diet you can try a Protein Bar as well. This way you will be getting your Protein in as well as curb that craving.

Your body is already detoxing from refined sugar...What is chocolate except, cocoa Beans, oil and sugar...So it is going through withdrawal...

Hold on it will get better after a few more days...K

Okay! As a chocoholic on the same pre op diet I have great news. Are you taking the Calcium tablets yet? I found chewables that taste just like chocolate. No sugar! No nothing! It blew my mind. Because I was expecting that atrocious Vitamin taste, but nope! I'll have to take a picture for you. It's one a day and I take it in the morning to get rid of need for sweets. I'm on day one of the pre Op. And I haven't thought once about a sweet. Let me know if you're interested! I'm at work currently but I have no problems following up with you when I'm off work.

Yes please!!! Because I'm starting day 7 today and every day I've dreamed of chocolate lol and the shake isn't curbing it. Good luck on your diet that means you are only 6 days behind me for surgery :)

the sugar free double chocolate pudding. mmmmmm Also freeze a chocolate Protein shake in tupper ware popsicle molds for a treat at night. Use 1-2% milk with shake mix so there's more of a good taste after it;s frozen.

Best wishes

      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.
