Has anyone experianced crazy food cravings as their surgery date grows closer? I mean I know it's normal to have "last supper syndrome" type feelings but I am having cravings for specific foods that I usually don't even like. For example the other day I picked up orange juice at the super market for the first time in about 2 years and drank the entire half gallon in like less than 24 hours. LOL, it gave me such heartburn but was sooooooo good. Anyone else doing this?

Oh yeah, I'm going calorie crazy too. I usually try to stay away from Starbucks Chocolate Chip Frappacinos but I feel like they put some kind of crack cocaine in them this week. I start my liquid diet for pre-op in 5 days and I am drinking one everyday! I'm feeling very guilty but I know I will never be able to have them again so that is how I'm convincing myself to buy them...

Oh boy do I know how that feels! With all of this post-op stage food talk, I've somehow talked myself into eating like I just had surgery...even though I haven't had it yet. Last weekend I was eating refried beans and sour cream everyday, every meal, because I heard it was a great suggestion for Stage 2 and 3 foods! LOL. Am I wasting my few precious moments left before surgery on foods I'll be sick of 6 to 8 weeks from now?

Ladies, I am SO there with you. My surgery is on 17th, and I feel like I am eating everything that isn't nailed down. It's a little scary... (hide your children!) And I am definitely having some last minute jitters... Got to get my head on straight a bit before they band me up. Get focused, get psyched...but yeah, right there with you on the bizarre-o appetite & cravings vibe...
