Can you eat some yogurt? It does help with the cravings for sweets.....Or Sf pudding or Jello. I still drink or eat a Protein Bar when I want something sweet. Don't give in to your head hunger. Now is the time to tame it.....Distract yourself with something else or call a friend....:)

Try fruit (herbal) teas. That's pretty much all I drink these days. I love Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry and berry Zinger flavors.

Eat some Soup, it's filling and it fills like you are eating a lot of food... To help with the head hunger. Make a peach and yogurt smoothie for the sweet. Good luck

I am sorry you are feeling do upset. You have folks to depend on here! We are all going through this mental battle and we will get through it together. ;). Keep your chin up! Reach out when you need something. There are many great recipes out there. What do you like??

Try this...I've been loving it, on the purée food stage.

2 oz of lowfat ricotta

1 or 2 packets of Splenda

A few drops of vanilla or almond extract

Mix and freeze, just until it starts getting frozen. Tastes like the inside of a cannoli! Almost no carbs, and 6-7g of protein!

I dont usually crave sweets. im usually a real food lover... Cooked food... But im craving maybe a fruit cup, Cookies, chocolate, but has to be something soft. At this point I could care less about the calories as long as I can tolorate it and not get sick.... Maybe a piece of toast with jelly or even better pb&j sandwhich.. ;( I know I cant have these things its just what I want

I dont know what riccota is...

Ricotta cheese, like what's in lasagna or stuffed shells. Soft, mushy white cheese, like cottage cheese. Usually in the refrigerated section of the store near sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.

Won't be sweet if you eat it plain (Ricotta). It reminds me of cottage cheese, only dryer. How bout plain or vanilla greek yogurt, mix in Tblsp. of lowfat/low sugar Peanut Butter then swirl in SF Jelly of your choice and viola! PB + J!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
