Some people get acid production in the sleeved stomach which they interpret as hunger pains. Are you taking a PPI such as Prilosec or generic for reducing the acid? I take 1 a day every morning.

I never took any prilosec. Now I have some in my medicine bag and a supply at da house but its all just incase I need them. Try that. Good point btw. I never think of that because I never had a acid problem or hunger issues.

The back of the bottle says it takes awhile to start working

You are early out, so I"m gonna give you some crazy advice....do it honey. Eat whatever yummy crap sounds good to you :) It will NOT agree with your tummy (specially since you say youve had issues with foods getting down already) and you'll likely kill the craving for some time!

The other night we had a bunch of house guests. A ritual is a nightly "cap" in the parlor. I used to have baileys on ice. So I was drinking my hot oveltine (I was low on protein) and decided to put a shot of baileys in it. I couldn't drink a quarter of the thing. A few sips and probably the sugar...I was nauseous. I normally drink oveltine so it wasn't that. I then tried it one more time just to see...same reaction. I guess baileys and I are no longer going to be friends. I have no craving for it after feeling that way either!

It's amazing how a "little" nausea, or even vomiting, will take care of some cravings! Lol

It'll be a long time before I eat another onion ring.

Omg ibeen craving funyons

Let me be the first to tell you. Pre op I hated chocolate. Now chocolate is awesome. *note: I only eat dark chocolate*. I never ate any junk food preop either. But that goes to show that our tastebuds change. I used to love milk. Now I dont drink it at all. Just be prepared to have a change of heart of a few things. Good luck and happy experimenting

Starches (potatoes are included in this category) are your likely culprit. They are empty carbs which are almost immediately turned to sugar in the body. Also white carbs have this magical ability to trigger cravings for more carbs (like Funyons). Corn is both very high in sugars, and very hard to digest.

If you can abstain from white carbs (rice, bread, potatoes, pasta) and fried foods for 2 weeks you find your cravings will become much less intense, and more manageable.

I am a raving carb monster right before TOM. I feel like a crazy person sometimes and want to eat everything in site. I best defense is not to keep things like that in my house. Also, it is true, the more carbs you eat, the more you crave it. But you are not crazy, it is very common for many women because of our lovely hormones!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
