I am 1 month post op and I am craving something sweet and chocolatey... The sugar free puddings help, but I was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions... I don't want to be too bad but I want something a little more...

I am sipping on a hot chocolate made with milk and some extra water, but added my protein powder to it and a squirt of peppermint coffee flavor! YUMMY and protein!

After lunch every day, I get a sweet tooth. So I've been taking my Calcium/Vit D chocolate chew then. Just enough chocolate to get a taste and its a Vitamin. BONUS!

sugar free Jello chocolate pudding pops (I've seen them in store brand too) these are really good and usually about 60 or 70 calories. Weight Watchers also make HUGE chocolate fudge ice bar/pop things, sooo good. Diet hot chocolate is usually what I go to when I need something sweet. I'm not a big sweet person but I do keep some of the different Weight Watcher Desserts and or ice creams on hand for when I'm in need of something sweet. Skinny Cow also makes some good low cal treats in small portion containers. There are always much healthy alternatives for our favorite treats, we just have to find them lol. Everything in moderation, I don't believe in deprivation. Treats are ok, just not all the time.

P.S. I just had a snack size bag of peanut M&M's (there were only 6 or 7 in the bag lol), yes I'm a bad girl lol. But for 103 calories, on some days it's just worth it..

I keep the Snack Size WW(half serving of the huge one) chocolate fudge pops and diet hot chocolate on hand for when the craving hits. Usually my grandkids eat the pops up before I get one. lol At six weeks postop I really don't crave them much since I have pretty much eaten no processed carbs or sweets since a couple of weeks after surgery.

Thank you all for the great ideas! I never thought to get the WW deserts and such, just incase!!!!

I'm a chocoholic too. After my surgery, I kept a bag of dark chocolate Hershey kisses in the freezer. When the cravings got overwhelming the rule was I could have ONE and I wasn't allowed to chew it. A frozen kiss lasts along time when you have to suck it! It cured my craving and was only 20 calories (25 for milk chocolate ones)!

what level are you on? I was eating solids one month post op. I know Jello has those mousse things too. they are soooo good. sugar free too.

Also try a company called big train. look them up. They sell brownie and cookie mixes that are low carb, sugar free goodness. One cookie is 60 calories and 5 carbs. I baked a batch just this week.Taste just like the real thing.
