  • Try remembering what you have just done to yourself and why. You have had major surgery. Presumably you did that to lose weight and improve your health. Think what a waste it will have been if you don

    How about using chocolate Protein shakes to get your chocolate fix. Or adding cocoa powder to a vanilla shake. I used the cocoa powder on my pre op diet and found I had no chocolate cravings at all. I

I LOVE the swiss miss diet hot cocoa - very chocolate-y but doesn't trigger cravings, since it's a completely different consistency....

You just stop. I know it sounds like tough love... But you are the one in the drivers seat. You must eliminate all the junk food and just stop thinking about it. No one can make you stop but yourself.

While losing I had chocolate almost daily. In the form of a Fiber one 90 calorie brownie, a 40 calories sugar free fudge popsicle, a sugar free pudding cup or sugar free hot cocoa. I made it part of my 1000 calories for the day and I ate it. It was a conscious choice and I planned for it.

If you want to be fat... Keep on with mindless eating. But I doubt that's what you want or you wouldn't ha e asked for help. Be strong and dig deep for the strength to make this happen

I hear ya, I have had a couple andes mints here and there, but how I stop my self from going overboard is thinking, I just spent $1500 out of pocket, went through a surgery. No way did I do all that just to screw it up. You are the only one that can control you. If it helps get all that stuff out of the house. If its not there then you can't east it. You really just have to be strong, get your mind off the cravings. Excercise, go read a book, watch a movie, call a friend. That band is just a tool, it won't work if you don't use it.

I can't keep chocolate or chips (or other junk) in my house, because if it's here, I'll hear it calling to me.

I'm like Jean. I don't know how they know my name,but they do!
