Woke up today and all I keep thinking about is a pizza or steak. Come on already, I have been very strict and disciplined so far. Now I am trying to rationalize to cheat, what bull hockey pucks! Today is going to suck but have not quit yet. Just had to rant, sorry.

You are totally normal!! At this stage you are sick to death of sweet shakes and want something savory. Hang in there. I am 7 weeks out and the obsession with food gets easier as you are able to eat more things.

I echo what franfaith said. All I could think about was FOOD when I was still on liquids. Once you start eating softs and solids, it will go away. Are you to pureed stage yet? I found just getting new tastes into my mouth helped a lot. If you are not, then try a new soup, something savory like vegatable soup, cream of tomato or clam chowder (strained). Hang in there...it will pass. Just DON'T give in and eat pizza or steak yet! It's too early, but I am sure you know this!

You can get through it! Last night I had a dream about being at the store picking out the most awesome ice cream sandwich ever and woke up craving one. Just trying to keep it off my mind. I know if I ate it I'd feel bad, and it's just not worth it!

When I was craving pizza I made myself some shredded chicken with a little pizza sauce and some fat free mozzarella. High protein, low carb, and helped a little.
