Once a week, EVERY month, I feel like I am battling the PMS cravings vs. healthy eating for my lap band. Any good advice or strategies to deal with this issue? I crave SALT and CHOCOLATE. . .. urgh~!

This is funny that this post is here because today I am in that stage and I am craving something crazy. I found something to help. Healthy choice has a new Greek frozen yogurt. It is amazing. Low calories and low fat and lots of Protein. I told my nutritionist about them and she said they are fine for me. So there you go a sweet tooth satisifier.

Not that I crave, but good to know. Thanks!

A girl i work with used to be a weight loss consultant, she told me to curb the cravings for sweet things to have a little of something very salty. What she suggested was a small dab of Vegimite on the end of your tongue. It works for a short time. And for those who don't like vegimite, it might just put you off food for the rest of the day .lol

I guess it is time I really start reading these blogs/forums daily. I am new to this lapband life....I am in my 5th week post-op. I've done well and felt so in control until this past weekend. My first PMS post-band. I have binged 3x trying not to give in and felt like a failure. THank you all so much for sharing and letting me know that I am not alone. Deep breath, read some more tips, journal....and now I shall forget the past 3 days and try to move on. Knowing that I can give in a little bit might just stave off another round of binging. Thanks all for being so honest and sharing your journey!
