I was doing great after I worked out a couple kinks...6 days in to my pre op diet n the worst thing ever happened im craving carbs sweets anything I can get my hands on... this happens one time a month n it decides to happen now :/ the cramps are not helping at all and I have to work all night!!! Im very moody!!

Eat some protein, snuggle into bed and sleep it off!!!

lol Sorry to hear hon...

Not sure what kind of diet you are on, but to fake the brain into thinking you are indulging in sweets, try a SF icepop or candy. If you are eating x1 meal daily, incorporate something sweet like yogurt w/ fruit. You'll get there... hope your moods are lifted soon

I dunno if you can have it or not, but what helped me get through the pre op diet was Jello's SF cheesecake pudding made with skim milk.

It's soo good. It doesn't even taste like diet food. And raspberry SF jello. I could eat as much as I wanted of the jello and I could have 2 cups of pudding a day. I saved the pudding for when I needed something tasty. SF popsicles helped a lot too I guess. You can do it. Hang in there!

I totally understand the sweet thing... I had a hard day today,, at a BBQ, everyone was eating potatoe salad, and brownies.. and I got to eat ribs with out sauce.. it didnt seem fair ..i was craving so bad,.,. But eventually dinner was over.. and the food was put away, and everything was better.

I agree with what is said above, sugar free Jello is the best. its sweet and cold and makes u think you have had something bad. Also,. Put a squirt of Whip Cream on it. It has less then 1 carb. it makes it really special.

I'm on an only Protein pre-op diet ( like Adkins). and when I asked the doctor, "how many carbs can I have?" he told me "none, cuz if he gave me a number I would go over it any way" ( dont know if I like his logic, but I am staying under 15 if a day if I can)
