I don't loose site of the Forrest because of the trees....it's a lifestyle change for me, not a day to day, hour by hour diet.....

Of course, a lot depends upon where you're at with your band.....until then......

IF there is something I really want, I have some of it. I usually give myself one day a week to really go out and eat those type foods that I try to stay away from most days. I have found, though, that the Atkins bars are very tasty. My faves are the dark chocolate coconut almond (yummy) and the coconut (almost like Mounds bar). I like many of the flavors. Chocolate/caramel is good and the creamy Peanut Butter is good....etc.... Very tasty. I am perfectly satisfied having one of those bars versus a candy bar. But if you want just a little something, the Russell Stovers Sugar Free Chocolates are good too. and the Weight Watchers ones. I like that they are individually wrapped. I'm usually good about controlling my urge to eat more than one (sometimes 2) since they are wrapped that way. I agree with the above poster about the dulce de leche sf pudding. very good. I also like the sf Creme Brulee.

I have a recipe for Energy Balls - you can substitute as you see fit to accommodate your diet, but the basics are:

1 cup dried oats

1 cup toasted coconut

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/3 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla

Mix, ball, eat.

Bite size servings help me portion, flax seed is like a miracle nutrient, and if I am careful with the sweet stuff and use bariatric peanut butter...it is a treat I am ok with having.

Good Luck!

Don't remember where I saw it recently but I heard that sweet Cereal has its place in life - exactly what ur here for. Usually I don't eat Cereal (hubby is a low carber so I don't usually even buy it) but I've recently begun eating a sweetened cereal when I get a massive sweet tooth. I can have 1\2 cup of Honeynut Cheerios, feel like I splurged, and don't harm my weight at all.

I "like" dark chocolate but don't "love " it so I'm able to keep the Hershey Bliss or Dove dark chocolate individually wrapped pieces Onhand for times when I'm craving chocolate. I keep them in a sealed container on the top shelf of the pantry so that I really have to want them. I've also found a chocolate Protein Drink at Wal Mart that is like chocolate milk to me. They sell it in the milk and juice case.

Mix cool whip lite or ff with unsweetened cocoa to taste and fridge or freeze. Comes out like rich chocolate. I also sometimes add PB2. I have also done with sf ff instant pudding. love the lemon. I only use two or three big tbls of cool whip. You control the amounts and calories. You will not believe it is not higher in fat or sugar.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
