Hi, I was wondering if anyone else felt or is feeling this way. I am home now for 6 days and the past 2 days I have been craving food. I am still on full fluids for another week. If anyone had cravings or are having cravings what have you done to get over this? thanks alot, Maggie

I wish I had some magic answer. In the beginning I just ignored the craving, as I got further out, I may have given in and usually paid the price by getting sick like 3-4 weeks out.

Try your best to stick to the plan! Good luck.

I really didn't have cravings a few weeks out. Not for taste anyway. I had texture cravings. Being on liquids still at your stage, I was craving something I could crunch. I crunched on ice, that helped a little. At the point I'm at now, having cravings usually means that I am thirsty, so I try to drink more water and that makes the cravings go away.
