Craving Sugar!



Recommended Posts

I'm sitting in my office on a conference call and working on a spreadsheet. Having a massive sugar craving!! I've intentionally rid my office of all sweets so I won't overdo it. Any advice from y'all on how you just get through these cravings?? I think they will go away if I can just get through it. (tough it out). I finished eating lunch about 45 mins ago, so not quite time to down the Water. I'm not even hungry, just want something sweet.

TIA!!!!

I was a chocoholic before surgery, for the most part it doesn't bother to go without sweets now, but once in a while I'll get a sweet craving. I go for yogurt, or have a crystal light. Also, i used to always have a candy jar at work. Once in a while I'll buy sugar free "Wurthur Originals" to have at my desk at work, usually does the trick for me.

sugar free candy works for me. I get the dove sugarfree chocolates have a serving which is 5. Or I buy sugarfree hard candy. Most of the time it works well.

I get those darn attacks too. But was use to filling it with Cookies or doughnuts. Now I take a wheat tortilla spread with Peanut Butter (lightly) , sliced bannas, sprinkle with cinnomon and splenda and roll it up. cut it in half and you have two great low cal treats .Of course you can use other things like no fat jelly, or peaches and cinnomom etc etc. The bananas and not fat peanut butter are the most filling....Blessings ..Dolly

Oh, I forgot, I buy california dried dates now. High in natural sugar but has Fiber and low calorie. Three of them only about 100 cal. I get a sweet fix and fiber.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
