Ok, I had my surgery August 12th 2014 so I am almost 6 months post op. I have lost about 85 lbs so far so that is great but it seems that around my period I crave things I shouldn't eat. The Sweet and the Salty. I do very well all of the rest of the month. Have any of you guys had this problem and how or what do you do to stay on track?

The last few months have been pretty rough and my weight loss has slowed. I lost my mom the day before Thanksgiving and since she was in hospice the last few weeks before I got out of the habit of going to the gym as often. Guessing I could just use some encouragement.

Thanks for looking at my post and thanks ahead of time for the help!

So sorry for the loss of you're mother.

Sweet and salty cravings I have even without having a period. I satisfy the craving with healthier options. If I deprive myself the cravings increase. So I nip it in the bud.

Sweet:

strawberries(any fruit) dipped in smuckers sugar free chocolate fudge or caramel topping (valentines day must have). yogurt (light n fit greek) is always a go to for the Protein. But I have a specific desert that I make that I take a few bites and I'm done.

Crush one voortman chocolate chip cookie in a small bowl

top the cookie with a teaspoon of smuckers sugar free caramel

top that with sugar free vanilla pudding mix with added peanut butter

chop a Russel stover toffee square and nuts add to the top.

Salty:

I don't know why these work for me..But again just suggestions

Scrambled eggs, Salsa, re fried Beans, chicken fajitas, turkey chilly and Eggplant with chicken sausage Parmesan.
