Hi guys I am currently 4 weeks post op and I am.craving something sweet. So far I have not given in to any temptations but I was wondering if anyone has gone through this and if there was anything I could have to take the feeling away ??

    Sugar- free popsicles, as many as you want! Lots of flavors, gives you the crunch and chew! Enjoy!

Sugar free/FF pudding, SF Jello or for a Protein boost take part skim ricotta, add a couple tsps of sweetener, a TBSP of unsweetened cocoa and a splash of vanilla. It is yummy and helps with chocolate cravings. Yogurts are good and so is cottage cheese with some SF jam mixed in.

I don't know if you are on solids yet- but I buy small bars of dark chocolate (70% cacao) and they are wonderful. They satisfy and then I don't crave sweet stuff. I did run this by my dietitian who thought it was a good idea.

Thanks guys if any of you come up with any other ideas throw them my way

I am not sure if you are on mushies still or if you are progressing to normal foods, if its mushies, you have been given great advice above ????. Once you progress to normal foods, i can only tell you from my own experience, if you like ultra sweet stuff, you could try the Quest Protein bars - i found the choc chip cookie dough to be super sweet - has 21g protein and its super low in carbs - i believe its only got 3 carbs.

I go for yogurt usually. I take a plain greek yogurt and mix in flavored Protein powder. You could also do SF Jello, pudding, or popsicles.
