She's_Sleeved 93 Posted April 13, 2014 Brush your teeth every time you feel the urge to eat! Nothing taste good with a minty fresh mouth. Do not jeopardize your surgery for a craving. You have come so far don't stop now!! The liquid diet is hard and if it were easy we wouldn't need weight loss surgery would we? I know it is hard having that internal struggle but you can beat it!! Do not let food control you anymore, you got this!! 1 ziggypbang reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephL 12 Posted April 13, 2014 Just when you want to give up, think about all the work that went into this process. I know it is hard, but anything hard is always worth it in the long run. If you need a change in what you are drinking try GNC Lean 25 shakes. They have 200 calories for 2 scoops and I usually only use one. Very filling and absolutely delicious. Maybe changing things up will help the craving to cheat. Just remember, you can do this and we are all here to help support you. Just think of it as a marriage. You're new lifestyle is a "til death do you part" situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggietosmaller 29 Posted April 13, 2014 Hello, With your surgeon does Clear Liquids mean only Water? With mine it means light liquids not any milk products and no red dye. I must drink Gatorade the last thing before 12 midnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziggypbang 272 Posted April 13, 2014 You are only two days out! This is amazing for you! This is the last total crap diet you will ever have to face alone, without your sleeve to help! Believe me, post op can have different kinds of challenges, but there was nothing more challenging for me than pre-op, in terms of my head continuing its wicked, whiny little snot-nosed cry to "feed me!" Your next phase will be a wild success! 2 She's_Sleeved and biggietosmaller reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melodica 64 Posted April 13, 2014 I know exactly how you feel! I'm on day 4 of 7 and yesterday was really bad. I'm supposed to be on liquids only, but I caved and ate a can of white meat chicken with some hot sauce (weird combo, I know). I chewed it until it was almost gone and it IS pure Protein with no carbs, so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I still feel guilty though. Stay strong! You're so close. Don't jeopardize it now. Think of being slimmer and feeling better - that's the only thing that's been keeping me sane! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.Fox 32 Posted April 14, 2014 Thank you for the motivation I'm really starting to realize just how dependent I am on food. This process is painful physically & mentally. But I CAN DO THIS!! ( gonna keep repeating that to myself ) 2 beeteroo and greensleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.Fox 32 Posted April 19, 2014 So I feel like I've gotta eat a salad or something.. I've been doing 80 ounces of Water a day, Protein Shakes & little bits of granola, if I feel myself getting light headed. But I have never craved a salad & grilled chkn breast like I do at this moment. I get my sleeve on 4/25/14... I feel like I need to eat NOW 1 Bridgetwzhere reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
