HI TO YOU ALL NEW HERE NEED SOME INFO
Hi there -
I had my surgery on 12/8. I am also on stage 4. My NUT said stage 4 for 4 weeks then can progress to stage 5. You should check and see what your NUT says because it could be different. I will be moving to stage 5 on January 18th.
I have all types of cravings - I won't list them all because it would just get me started all over. I thought I would have some type of honeymoon period but I do get hungry. Just know that you are not alone! It is hard now - we can't even have our good foods like veggies. Have you tried veggie burgers? That is ok for my stage 4. I have also been eating a few slices of block cheese - cabot has sharp cheddar reduced fat that is pretty good.
That being said - I try to have chocolate protein shakes (Myoplex lite is my fav) to satisfy some of the cravings. I also find that going to the gym and walking on the treadmill takes my mind off of food. It also speeds the weight loss and the more I loose the less I want to have unhealthy foods.
Good luck - we are with you!
