Pre op diet

[queencity 62]

Is it me or now that i am on this liquid only pre op diet i have been craving veggies, salmon, basically healthy food. I have thought about when this is over and i can eat solid foods i will only want to get my hands on healthy food. Any one else with the same mindset?

This has been exactly my experience. It is an incredible thing and apparently very common. I used liquid during my pre-op despite the fact that it wasn't one of my surgeon's requirements, and it eradicated all the horrible cravings I had at the beginning of my 1000 calorie diet. Post-op was made much easier, especially in the early going liquid stages, and now, three months out, I use liquid to break out of stalls (I just broke out of one in the last few days).

Unfortunately, my taste buds haven't completely changed, nor do I expect them to, but I crave healthier food in general when a) I exercise, and I am doing a mini-cleanse with liquid Protein.
