Liquid Diet (Food Cravings Help!)

Hey Everybody, I think I'm very close to my lap band dream. If all my pre-op lab stuff is received by cmmc by Friday I'll be having my surgery on next Thursday. So I need some serious angels fast not to mention I've just started my liquid diet today and y'all I'm craving everything under the sun. I notice that in my general theme I'm craving salty foods. Anything with salt in them I'm even to the point where I'm craving roast beef and gravy and mashed potatoes with lots of salt. (And I hardly eat that at all) I can't help it I'm a salt aholic and I know I can't eat raw salt anyways due to my blood pressure. Can any of you give me some good tips on some great tasting liquids in the slim-fast/Adkins's etc. types thats filling and doesn't leave me so hungry. I'm surprised I'm not craving anything sweet but between the two evils today... it is defiantly a salt craving day.

How 'bout sippin' on some beef broth or chicken broth? It's the best I could come up with! LOL HUGS K ps... keep us posted on the surgery date!!!

Salt is my weekness too and during the clear liquid diet all I could come up with was the chicken broth with plenty of salt. Once you hit phase II you can find plenty to curb that craving. Good luck!

I liked "hot and sour soup" (strained of course) from the local Chinese place, and I'm just assuming that is okay on the clear liquid diet - and I put a little soy sauce in that. BTW - glad to see you have a picture with your posting now ! Just stick with it - you're gonna do great ! DeAnna

That sounds delicious. I'll have to add that to the list. I'm glad to finally show my face

This is a test.

of the emergency broadcast system. If this had been an actually emergency, you would have been directed on where to go ... blah blah blah. That's all I can remember. LOL Weird, I know. HUGS K
