If you have a sweet tooth, the very best advise I can offer you - kick it. Cold and permanently. It sounds harsh but it is true.

I am learning that I really, truly, will just have to exist without indulging carbs or sweets of any kind. I can't have really sweet stuff anyway, my tummy hates it - but I went into remission from type 2 diabeties in March and my pancreas and liver are functioning effortlessly - no spikes with OJ or wheat bread, or Peanut Butter - my limit is only on what I can eat without it making my stomach hurt.

With that said, and letting myself slip off the 5-year long almost carbless existence I had pre-sleeve/remission, it is a creeper, it will sneak up on you - if you don't clip it it is like what I imagine smoking to be to my sister - you go for sooo long, and go so well, and a nip here (puff there) and bam!

For me, given what I have been through, seeing my progress and knowing now I can still slip, I have made what I can say will a decision to live refined-sugar (refined 'oses') free.

Perhaps chocolate calcium chews would work for you. These are between 5-15 calories each and also help you with Calcium requirements (my doctor requires me to take 6 daily where each are 250 mg). I find both the chocolate and caramel flavors are yummy.

The sleeve is a tool, not a magic wand. Head hunger is a challenge you will need to address without caving in to cravings. Show yourself some tough love. One option is to cut out sugar period. Another is to indulge, but only with low fat, sugar free options.

Then there is that other choice to just eat chocolate when you want to. But if you elect to do that then why bother with a sleeve? Just be obese.

You won't find many enablers here. You will find a lot of people going through the same thing and who will support your efforts towards better health.

Those taste ok but aren't low calorie and they also give some people gas and diarrhea, especially if they eat several.

Atkins Protein bars taste good. They have different flavors. One even taste like a baby ruth candy bar. You are also getting protein with these little bars. If I take that sweet urge which has only been a couple of times I grab one of these. I bought them for the purpose of extra protein. I found they kill the sweet urge, and give the extra protein I need plus one small bar makes me extremely full for hours alot of times I cant finish a complete bar.

Auto-correct... Making people feel dumb since 2007.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
