Will I still have cravings....for peanut butter & chocolate....& I am not a chocolate lover by anymeans but put peanut butter with it and ahhhh need my reeses. Also I heard of this thing called dumping what is it and will it happen with this surgery. WHat have been your highs and lows let me know I am wondering....

I had the sleeve so I can only speak for myself. I have found that I am so satisfied and full most of the time that I do not have cravings for anything. Hopefully that will be the scenerio for you as well. Good luck and I wish you great success!!..PS. I was a big fan of the peanutbutter chocolate mix myself!!

In the beginning, I had the STRONGEST craving for fried chicken strips!! I never indulged because I thought it would be much too hard on my stomach (sleeve), and it did pass. Now I could have them, but have no desire for them. My eyes are still bigger than my stomach and I take too much and can never finish...but for me, that's a good feeling!!

Sweet cravings or chocolate cravings are common but you need to manage them intelligently because a single bar of chocolate can add enough calories to your diet to make rigorous workout sessions futile. Whenever you get such cravings I would suggest you to eat something, not necessarily anything sweet, but a bowl of salad or a protein shake, etc. It works most of the times.
