Maybe you can replace the half and half with milk?

My team never banned tea and coffee. I had my first coffee as my first drink in hospital. I live on the stuff.

Lucky duck! I’m jealous.

pizza. I could eat it for every meal for the rest of my life if I had to. Also any type of desert really. I don’t really crave them but if I see them I can’t resist.

Huge chocolate bars. I ate them every day in the before times. I am a bone fide, dyed-in-the-wool chocaholic, currently abstinent. I do have the occasional square of 100% cocoa bar (no sugar) but honestly I can't believe how little I am interested these days. Just not worth the space in my stomach at the minute. I hope it stays like that for a looooong time too.

I was never asked to quit caffeine either. I would have found that almost impossible.

Smartfood cheese popcorn. I literally can't have it in the house. And you'd think it'd be hard to eat a lot because it takes up so much room, but no, apparently it's a slider too.

i had to cut gluten out of my diet several years ago. i've haven't been truly tempted, and never cheat. I also have diverticulitis and do not eat nuts & popcorn. All of this cold turkey. No pop, no caffeine either. I'm good with all of it.

However, ice cream calls my name. Screams it, in fact. That is a struggle for sure.

Smart food cheese popcorn gets an honorable mention for me as well. Pretty much no limit on how much I can consume. Slides right through.

I noticed that popcorn is a slider food for me as well. I do the skinny pop but I have eaten two of the individual bags on more than one occasion and probably could eat even more if I allowed myself.

My weakness is anything sour, tart, salty. I don't have a sweet tooth so I don't care about that. I also don't like bread. But Dt Mt Dew and Dt Coke...oh lordy....out of everything, that's gonna be the hardest to break. I was told the caffeine isn't an issue as long as you stay well hydrated (they said caffeine can dehydrate you) but the carbonation is a big no no because it can irritate and stretch the pouch.

And regular Coca Cola. Not diet, not Coke Zero, the classic coke in a can in a glass with ice.

I love pasta and chips too but sadly I will tell you it doesn't go away...especially the 2 week liquid diet (or more) you'll miss food sooo much and crave it.

Best to develop the right mindset, find healthy alternatives when you can eat solid food and find the right coping mechanisms.

      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.
