Try a chocolate protein shake and see if that will help curb the craving. That is what worked for me. If you are not on a liquid diet you can try a protein bar as well. This way you will be getting your protein in as well as curb that craving.

I have been drinking the choc shakes but didn't think about the protein bar! I will have to get some

Your body is already detoxing from refined sugar...What is chocolate except, cocoa Beans, oil and sugar...So it is going through withdrawal...

Hold on it will get better after a few more days...K

Try Atkins double chocolate shakes or sugar free chocolate pudding. This helps me during this stage.

Thanks guys! I'm gonna get some sugar free pudding for sure :) didn't even think of it!

Okay! As a chocoholic on the same pre op diet I have great news. Are you taking the Calcium tablets yet? I found chewables that taste just like chocolate. No sugar! No nothing! It blew my mind. Because I was expecting that atrocious vitamin taste, but nope! I'll have to take a picture for you. It's one a day and I take it in the morning to get rid of need for sweets. I'm on day one of the pre Op. And I haven't thought once about a sweet. Let me know if you're interested! I'm at work currently but I have no problems following up with you when I'm off work.

Yes please!!! Because I'm starting day 7 today and every day I've dreamed of chocolate lol and the shake isn't curbing it. Good luck on your diet that means you are only 6 days behind me for surgery :)

the sugar free double chocolate pudding. mmmmmm Also freeze a chocolate Protein shake in tupper ware popsicle molds for a treat at night. Use 1-2% milk with shake mix so there's more of a good taste after it;s frozen.

Best wishes
