I eat anywhere between 900-1200 calories a day, between about 200-400 per meal. lunch is usually the largest with about 400 and breakfast and dinner is between 150-300.

Sugar is a drug for me. If I have a little one day, I want it the next day and the next day. I'm 4 weeks off sugar now and I find I have no cravings for it because its not in my body. chocolate is empty calories and is preventing you from losing weight.

I have chocolate cravings from time to time, but fix it with SF choc pudding.

What I learned is that I give in to a STRONG craving, I do so sparingly. I've resorted to getting two or three Hershey Kisses, or mini candy bars at the grocery store check out. They never charge me cuz they figure it's so low, it won't register. I must be very lucky!

I picked up some Nestle fat free hot chocolate today and it is pretty yummy. You add it to 6oz of hot Water, and it's only 20 calories. I recommend it! Satisfies a bit of that sweet tooth.

Stonyfield Oikos Greek Yogurt comes in chocolate, its a 4 pack of 4oz containers, 100 calories, 10g protien, 0 fat. It's pretty good, helps with the chocolate cravings. I also make popsicles out of the pre mixed protien shakes, like EAS or Adkins. I pour the shake into a popsicle mold, 1 shake makes 6 popsicles ~ course we are heading into winter so hot chocolate sounds much better. I just bought the Nestle fat free hot chocolate today. :)

sugar free pudding, popsicles and sugar free hot chocolate sound terrific. I don't think any of us should be eating chocolate after weight loss surgery. It's self sabotage.

      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.

        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!
