sweet cravings!



Recommended Posts

I'm 15 days post op and I'm having a lot of sweet cravings. Pre op I used to be able to squash the cravings with a coffee latte drink but it's not working for me now!

Any ideas ?

Have you tried Choc pudding? Peanut Butter bust mine- love that stuff. Early on I would have cravings for cake or Cookies. To prevent benges I would go buy ONE of a favorites (1 cup cake, one cookie) and eat that one thing and that was it. Most of the time it would satisfy me and I would be fine. Then as I went along, it got so when I would get one of those it didn't even taste good- to sweet, made my belly hurt. So now I don't crave as much as I use to.

​SF Popsicles are good. I buy Edy's fruit ones and they are sweet and great. Also, are your Protein Shakes sweet? I once tried freezing mine, it wasn't the best but it was frozen like ice cream.

fruit. Anything sweet and low glycemic is better than high glycemic simple carbs. Cantaloupe, watermelon, apples, pears, blueberries, blackberries and I sometimes munch on Famous Dave's spicy pickle chips. I allow myself one Hershey's or Dove Bliss type dark chocolates in the evening.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will definitely try freezing a chocolate Protein Shake. I will try fruit popsicles also. Just now I had leftover homemade fruit puree (I give my son some mixed in yogurt), it was strawberry &peach, I mixed a packet of stevia in and it was great!

Someone else posted this little sweet recipe. Sliced apples with cinammon nuked for a 15-20 seconds. I'll add a little sweetener to it after its nuked.

I liked the dark chocolate almonds; VERY low in sugar

When I have a sweet craving, I have a Calcium chew. You can order them from Amazon or get them from any drugstore. One small chew in caramel is enough for me and is low in calories.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
