Hello Fellow Lapbanders...

Hope you are all having a fun, happy, and healthy day.

Today is day four of my first fill and I am loving it so much. I fill fuller longer and eat less food now. Now we are on to something LOL....

So I have a question of the day for you guys, What do you do to handle or overcome or candy/chocolate craving??????

I purchased a bag of mini Peanut Butter cups thinking I could do one a day....HUGE fail. I almost ate the whole bag without paying attention and i wasnt even hungry..It is crazy but this was a lesson learned.

Can't wait to hear you guys,

I have fallen love with frozen greek yogurt. It has a fair amount of protein and comes in quite a few flavors. Growing up, we would ALWAYS have a gallon of ice cream in the freezer and had it after every meal. Hard habit to break. When I'm really craving something sweet, I'll have a couple spoonfulls of the frozen greek yogurt. Seems to do the trick.

I made the same mistake with choc-covered raisins. Before I knew it the whole bag was gone:). I've been getting a single herseys bar & breaking off a section when I want something sweet. It's worked well for me.

I can not have any forbidden foods in the house. I make sure I am not hungry when I go to the grocers, and I do not buy any foods that I will

"cheat" on. For me there is no tricks to dieting I simply have to stay away from foods that are not healthy. I found as I lose more weight I gain

more will power. I do not want to riun all my hard work!

When I get those craving I get the russells Sugar Free Chocolates they pretty good and satisfy my cravings!

I eat sugar free chocolate pudding

I would second a single serving low fat/cal pudding. Though personally I have some fruit after my meal. It's my "dessert" .
