I'm not quite 3 months post-op and I'm finding that I'm starting to crave more of a variety of foods. Unfortunately this includes sweets and that freaks me out bc that's my drug of choice.

I need to keep "safe" foods in the house for my sweets cravings, which usually hit at night. I have light yogurt and sf pudding, which are doing the trick for now.

What are some of your go-to foods when you're craving sweets? Nothing that I'd have to cook, but something quick that I can snack on before bed? Thanks!!

SF Fudge pops, dried fruit, kettle corn work for me I just have to be careful about the corn

I don't know what your sweet tooth craves, whether it just be something sweet or something like a candy bar. I went into my local Vitamin world the other day and was looking at the powders and Protein drinks they have available (because that is the ONLY place in my town other than Smith's grocery store & Wal-mart that has anything I will be needing for surgery) and I ran across these OhYeah bars. They had 4 different bars the one I tried was chocolate Caramel Candies I was surprisingly shocked at how good it tasted and reminded me of "Candy" It has a soft filling with tiny M&M looking candies on top and covered with chocolate. It says "Good Grab right size right choice" (it's a little smaller than a payday bar) It has: 180 Calories, Total fat 9g, Carbs 19g, Sugars 8g, Protein 14g

I know calories and sugars are maybe a little high but if you do it once in a while it shouldn't be to bad, I figure with 14g of Protein it makes it ok ;}~

Also I just got the Bariatric Choice Catalog and it has some "candy bar" like Protein Bars. The SF chocolate Dream Protein Bar that looks just like a candy bar says it's similar to a Nestle's crunch bar it has: 160 cal, 10g Protein, 12g fat, 6g carbs, 0 sugar. So these are a couple things im planning on looking into. I hope this helps ya a little bit.

look on Pinterest, lots of ideas from other sleevers

good luck!

I eat the Atkins Endulgence treats. Like right now I have the Atkins Peanut Butter cups and chocolate coconut bars ( like a Mounds bar) in my pantry. They are perfect for my late night sweet tooth cravings. I buy them at Wal-Mart.

I LOVE the coconut ones!! I freeze them. They take longer to eat that way.

Word to the OP: just be careful w sugar alcohols. It affects people differently, but they can have a laxative affect.

I guess I never thought of it, because it does not have that effect on me. Lol! I only eat one of those per day. Usually last thing I eat at night.

Both my sisters have the Lap Band and the doctor told then carbohydrates 12-15grams sugar No more than 9grams per serving

Try the Gerber arrowroot cookies. I'm 2 months out. Low carbs!

Can't do cookies!! They're my trigger food and drug of choice.

I've tried a few of the sweets recipes from Bariatric Foodie. (Make a small portion ahead of time and have it for a few days.) I just made two of the protein cheesecake ramekins (eating one now) and it is so good! I also got in the kick for a while of buying sugar free angel food cake or SF shortcakes and adding some low-carb toppings (cool whip, nuts, SF chocolate chips, torani syrup, PB 2). There's always sugar free candy, if one piece will satisfy you. But that's where the real sugar alcohol problem comes in. I learned my lesson the hard way!

I add a couple tablespoons of dry sugar free pudding mix into a half cup of fage yogurt. Cheesecake flavor is my favorite. It is like eating cheesecake! I love the consistency and the protein I get. Plus you can use any flavor!!

One of my favorite sweet Snacks is Healthy Choice frozen greek yogurt. It is yummy and is like ice cream for me.

I like the yogurts, and I found that a lot of the Protein bars are like a candy bar but with protein too.

I've tried some of the Skinny Cow ice cream and candy bars. They have good taste, but I try to avoid too many foods that don't give me protein too. This is why I prefer the yogurts and Protein Bars.

I'm trying hard to stay away from sweets since those were the biggest part of my food addiction.

At night if I want something sweet I have a diet hot chocolate or herbal tea with Truvia. It is satisfying and helps get in more liquids, too.
