Cravings issue



Recommended Posts

Good day my fellow sleeves. I had my surgery on the 16th and so far so good. Although a chore I manage to get my liquids in every today. Today was a struggle because I woke up super late and was not able to get all my ounces in per hour. I drink chocolate Protein Shakes but today I back slid. I had 4 little pieces of dove chocolate and litterlally just sucked on it until it melted in my mouth. Now I'm having horrible stomach issues. Do anyone know if this will subside? Did I totally mess up what the Dr did? Thanks!!!!

It will subside but you're going to be uncomfortable for a while. I'd suggest anything you get rid of anything in the house that might tempt you. You don't want to sabotage your surgery.

I had the same thing happen today! I received a Christmas present in the mail from a friend in another state and she included Ghirardelli chocolates. I sucked on one that was caramel filled and was sick for 30 minutes! I promptly gave the chocolates to my neighbors who are hosting Christmas tomorrow :) I think it was a good thing. Now we know what happens and it is NOT worth feeling sick by eating chocolate. I can eat chocolate sugar-free and/or bariatric puddings, so that's what I'll stick to. I did text my friend, thanked her for the gifts, and did let her know I had to give the chocolate away because it made me sick. My friends have always brought food/chocolate, so it will be up to me to keep educating them, giving it away, and taking care of myself. I'm glad you're feeling better!! :)

      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.
