Here is my list of things that I wanted to eat today and have been craving since yesterday and have not eaten. I am on liquids for 2 weeks because I had a fill and want to make the best of the 3 days of liquids they put you on. It felt better to write them down. I sit right by the break room at work and can smell everything that is cooked. It made me feel a little better to write it down. Anyone else have some cravings??

Kim - You said 2 weeks of liquids after a fill? Wow, that is a long time. My doctor only requires liquids the day of the fill. Are you sure he didn't say 2 days? I guess I just haven't heard of two weeks. Great job of staying away from all that stuff!

Yeah, the doc recommends 3 days but I thought I would kick start my weightloss like the beginning again. I find my cravings go away after a week or so. I know it's not as healthy as can be. But, I am drinking my Protein Shakes and getting plenty of liquids in. I just have to get past these cravings they are killing me!!

My mouth started watering till I got to the deep-fried pickles. Someone once accidentally served our table deep-fried pickles and we all gagged (we ordered deep fried zuccini.) Bad experience, bad, bad... we thought we were eating rotten zuccini. Must be a southern thing?

When I was on liquids I got the weirdest cravings for pizza and spagetti. Then I discovered that cambells Soup at hand has a pizza flavored soup...It really helped me work through some of the cravings.

Now I find myself watching the food Network and reading cookbooks like they are romance novels. I'm in love with food and the idea of cooking these grandious things that I know I would take three bites of and be done with. Isn't that weird?

I have the same problem...so true about the love novels. You would think the food network is porn in my household as much as I love watching it and wondering what the stuff would taste like.

Deep fried pickles is definately southern. I can't get enough of them. Mostly, I can't get enough of anything deep fried! HA!

Ooh, I haven't had any fried green tomatoes or fried okra since banding. Kim, you've got me started.

Do find yourself also looking at the kitchen gadgets to see what new thing you need to add to that cluttered kitchen drawer?

Marie - Be quiet! Fried green tomatoes and fried okra! Give me a plate full of that and I will be nice for a week! Those are two of my very favorite! What time is supper?

I craved asparagus and brussell sprouts, so there's more proof I belong on another planet. When is the next space ship out of here?

      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.
