To the filthy liars who say cravings go away



Recommended Posts

And to those others who lose their hunger either for good or for a long period: Those of us who never lost it HATE YA'LL. It's what I hate the most. The fact that I'm still hungry - most of the time, since I can eat very litte, I'm hungry more often. And for those of u who have lost it and say "It's just stomach acid. Take a PPI". Not only am I already taking a PPI 2x a day, I KNOW the difference between hunger and stomach acid. I'm 46 yrs old. I know the difference - and it's truly hunger.

And yes, I still get cravings. Mostly for Mexican food about once a month. Luv the saucy, spicy, cheesy goodness. A few bites will do it for me now tho...

I don't really have cravings anymore. Before my surgery(several months before) I did a sugar detox. I loved sugar. If I were to have drowned in a silo full of sugar, I would have been okay with it. I can look at cake and miss it, but I don't get obsessive and hangry and needy the way I used to when I was on the stuff. Similarly my husband keeps ice cream in the house and it no longer bothers me. But I will say it took weeks to really detox myself from the sugar. And that first one was a bad one.

      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.
