I know this may not be a big deal to some, may seem stupid to others, but the reason why I posted this is because many of my family members do not know that I had weightloss surgery, due to the fact they are very ignorant when comes to weightloss surgery. They think it's taking the easy way out without doing any research.
So that said... I'm so excited! After two weeks into my liquid diet I've gone down two bra sizes , not sure how much weight I've lost, but to me that's good sign. But I can tell I've lost weight. Last two weeks have been a struggle, but because I've seeing results of weight lose, it's been very rewarding to me.

I had cravings, but they weren't true cravings. I wanted all kinds of food, but it was because I couldn't have it. If someone had actually put a cheeseburger in front of me, I would have been disgusted by it.

No real cravings. I feel like I had tons pre op and I satisfied every single last one of them lol. Anyways I am about 2 weeks (16 days) post op and since being on purees I am experimenting with foods I shouldn't be.
I went to Buffalo wild wings and ordered the naked grilled tenders. I ate one. It settled in pretty well no complications. Later we went to Red lobster and I had crab legs. No issues.
I don't cook often. So my husband and I enjoy eating out. He bought Snacks for the hotel room (we're out of town) smart pop white cheddar popcorn. Mmmmm so what did I do. Several hours had passed since dinner. I got one of the 8 oz cofee cups and filled it half way. It seemed to do fine but I woke up the next morning feeling as if something was stuck.
Could've been the popcorn? Was delicious but very uncomfortable afterwards. I shouldn't have eaten it. I see how it is very important to stay on track with the the plan not only for compliance but to establish discipline and achieve success.
I don't think I will be successful at achieving weightloss if I try to get away with eating smart pop popcorn at every opportunity. Had That gone well, I probably would've. I don't even want to try again.
Lesson learned for many other foods to come. Time to take full advantage of this golden period help the tool help me.

While our stomachs are healing our diets are in stages so the stomach doesn't have to work hard to digest. Minimal churning is important. So, just because we can eat something that doesn't affect us negatively, we don't know what is happening on the inside. Just wanted to share that. I've been on the soft stage since last thursday and it is sooooo much better. We get real food, just not the hard things to digest!

I'm on my 5th day post gastric sleeve & have cravings too. I guess are brains still long for our pre op lifestyles of being able to eat rich food at all times. The surgery was done to the stomach not the brain. Our brains are pretty much the same as always.

Thank you so much MrsSugarbabe.By the way love the name. It's been a very difficult first week so far, I think more out frustration if any. But I do know in the end it will be worth it. Thank you for the information once again.

So glad to know that I am not the only one having cravings!! The first thing I thought about after getting home from surgery was steak and mashed potatoes and now 2 1/2 weeks out I am craving mexican food I guess I just thought my cravings for food would just magically disappear after the surgery Glad someone said after a month their cravings went away because sorry but beef broth and refried Beans is not exactly what my tummy is craving but will have to do for now ;P

I struggled with the liquid diet as well, but I stuck it out..stick with the plan

I wore a padded bandage over that incision for a couple weeks to protect it and wore my regular wired bras. Worked perfect.

Pintrist has great puree food ideas. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Yup! I had cravings JUST like when I was pregnant as well. I wanted tacos soooooo bad! There were several cravings I had (seafood was another) but that was one that lasted for about a week. I still get cravings even now but it has lightened up now that I'm 1 month out. First few weeks were the hardest I think. Now I'm so focused on trying to figure out food that will give me more Protein without all the carbs that if I do have a craving, it's fleeting because it usually doesn't fit with what I NEED for that day.

Yes, I am too hungry. I have no idea what to eat on a puree stage and I do not cook. I just ate one fried chicken wings an a sugar free popsicle. Which was soooo satisfying.

Sorry stupid spell check lol , I mean B12. I can have that after surgery.

I've seen alot of people crave salad. Be sure you are taking your Vitamins - although I often crave steak sometimes it can be a sign of Iron deficiency. Although it's probably that you're damn hungry! Try having something savory like broth. Stay strong!

I just had gastric sleeve surgery a week ago, so of course I'm on my three week liquid diet. But I have a question. Has any of y'all experienced strange food cravings? Because I feel like I'm pregnant again. (Which I'm not ) I'm just really craving a big meaty steak and dark chocolate and and a really good salad. I know sounds silly, but I'm just curious if it's just me or has anyone else had this experience after surgery?
