I I am almost two weeks out and I am craving red meat! A big fat steak would take care of this, but we all know that's not the answer. Anyone else crave red meat and if so what did you do to subside this craving?

Just an idea, maybe make a juicy steak up then chew/suck out all the juices and spit out the meat. It might help

Your 2 weeks out of what? Pre surgery or Post surgery. Pre I would go eat steak. Steaks are great after surgery but the portion just isnt the same. I miss a big steak, but love getting skinny more.

At two weeks out you shouldn't be eating anything as solid as steak. Aren't you still on liquids? Or at least puréed/mushies! It's a craving. Better get used to them and figure out a way to deal with them without sabotaging your health and weight loss.

Yes I know I should be eating anything two weeks after surgery. That's why I said it wasn't the answer..

I am only on soft/ liquid foods.

The question was has anyone had this craving and what did you do about it?

      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.
