Are you actually hungry? Is it head hunger or is acid?
I have a lot more head hunger in the past few months but my physical hunger isn't there. I just want to eat more.
If you have to have eat sweets, get Protein Bars. They are expensive, and most of them will give you gas so that should help slow your sweets urge and at least you eat getting some Protein.
You can try protein brownies. eatmeguiltfree.com
I think it is easier to work with your weaknesses than against them. So find protein sweet replacements for your sweets cravings. Want to snack get the Quest protein chips.
Cook steak, chicken, pork cop, cut them into strips that you can eat with your fingers.
Just replace your problem items with good items.
I'm not sure how you feel at this point, I am not quite out as far as you, but I don't really feel like a WLS patient at all. I'm pretty much a regular person with just a smaller stomach. Once you get further out from surgery I feel like a lot of WLS eating advice is useless. A nutritionist is just going to tell you what you already know. You have to see the patterns in your behavior and figure out a way to work around them.
One thing I did to break bad habits at work on my 10 hours shifts was to just fast for the shifts for 2 days. I realized I was just eating because I was bored or my co-workers were eating. So I channeled that into something else.
