I didn't expect...



Recommended Posts

to miss food. Today seems like a tough day. I want pizza. That seems to be my biggest craving. Maybe I'm just tired and emotional, but today I miss food.

I used to be mad because I never felt full or satisfied. Now I feel full and satisfied too quickly.

Guess it's just a blah day.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I just wanted to send out a big hug! I'm sure most have felt that.

I know how you feel. I get really hungry, but feel full after only a few bites and food doesn't't taste all that great. I guess that's not a bad thing , but it's not what I expected.

If you are craving pizza, try cutting a chicken breasr really thin sprinkle with garlic powder and broil in the oven til it's done. Add your pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and pop it back under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly. Hopefully this will satisfy your craving with less calories than the real thing.

I am 6 weeks out and trying to find my way, but it is a process. Good luck, maybe tomorrow will be better

@@shortsleeved made a good point. There are good alternatives to have the pizza taste with out the guilt. I hope you find a recipe that will satisfy the craving.

On my rough days. I try on the clothing I wore at my highest weight. I pat myself on the back. I know tomorrow is a new day and I press on.

      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.
