I did at the beginning but I don't anymore. At least not so much. I don't remember what they were now except the first few weeks out of surgery I kept imagining biting into a donut. I never imagined actually eating it, just biting into it but I think that is because i was still on liquids and wanted to bite into something.

Yes....yes I do.

Craving nuts & cheeses and have to ensure that I carefully measure them out so they become a meal and not a snack. Can't fall back into the grazing habits.

Does anybody else get weird cravings?? I'm about two months post op and crave milk like it's nobody's business

I'm almost 4 weeks out and I definitely want milk. I want it all the time. At 4 glasses a day, it makes up the bulk of my nutrition right now. I still have little interest in solid food, namely because I can't stand giving up Water for an hour and 45 mins every time I eat (15 mins before, 30 mins during, an hour after). I'd rather have the Water. Milk satisfies my need to drink, gives me some calories, 12g of Protein (Fairlife), and doesn't require holding off on water. While my nut obviously wants me to work on incorporating more solid food, she is content with this use to fill the gaps in the meantime.

      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.
