I am 6 weeks post-op. doing well. Feel great. Lost 28 lbs so far. Can't eat most everything. Still have not tried pasta, rice or bread. Or steak. Dying for a slice of cake. Thought I would share.

I have heard of people trying the item that they are craving. And once they try them they can only take a bite or two. The Dr told my husband that it was okay to have "one" cookie every now and then. Just think before the surgery it was 6-8 cookies. Good luck.

I made a sugar free Jello cake with Sugar free dream whip icing for a relatives birthday. It is my absolute fav kind of cake. I had one sliver...after all it was sugar free

Thanks! Oh I am sure it will only be a sliver and I am okay with that

Is that kind where you poke wholes in and pour in the jello?

Yes! and I make mine with a dream whip icing which consist of dream whip and sugar free vanilla pudding. It is sooo good.

I broke down and ate an Andre's thin mint today. It was heavenly and I savored it in tiny little pieces! Been craving pumpkin pie lately.

Hi there, I love cake too. My compromise was getting a cake pop from Starbucks. I had 2 slow bites and then was so full that I threw the rest out. They are only about 180 calories. It's not in any way nutritious, of course, but it will certainly fix your craving and keep you from having that depressing feeling that you're being deprived of something you want.

Oh girl, I always want cake. I'm too afraid to have any because then I'll just want MORE cake. I always always want cake. On my death bed I'm sure I will be craving cake.

Sigh.

And after the surgery it can still be 6 or 8 cookies..

I ordered a variety pack of the ENS vitamin protein mixes from the celebrate bariatric vitamin website. I got 3 flavors - chocolate, strawberry & vanilla cake batter. I am not partial to the cake batter because it's just soooo sweet but it does smell & taste just like cake batter would. Maybe having something like that around would help the cake cravings? I am still in the protein liquid stage (2 weeks post surgery) and I am sick to death of sweet. I hope I never crave cake again. I have been craving mushrooms, spinach, asparagus and I watched my daughter eat an Olive Garden salad and almost drooled from the urge to chew it with her. I can't wait for solids!

That pumpkin pie spice is a miracle worker!

GNC has an AMAZING pumpkin spice total lean Protein shake right now! Soooo yummy.

I had Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie shake with a half tbsp of peanut butter in it last night. Tastes just like nutter butter Cookies.

Syntrax vanilla bean torte tastes like melted ice cream.

Syntrax mint chocolate cookie tastes like a mint ice cream

That's how I get my jollies these days.

Hafta say if GG says it tastes like heaven id take her word on it. I did on the Vanilla Bean Torte! Just like melted Ice Cream. NO JOKE. Peanut Butter Cookie is next Just sayn

Yes! and I make mine with a dream whip icing which consist of dream whip and sugar free vanilla pudding. It is sooo good.

Yum. When I was a kid my mom would make with red Jello. Yum. I have to try pudding
