I've been doing a fairly good job of staying away from stuff I'm not supposed to eat. I was able to keep carrots and celery and stuff like that that I could use as fillers in my meals. I used small amounts of fruits and berries mixed with plain or sugar free vanilla yogurt. Yogurt made s nice dessert at meals or added to salad as dressing. But it's end of the month and I don't have those right now. I find myself positively longing for some kind of sweet treat. How do I get passed it. Haven't broken yet but Dairy Queen's not that far away. (Also know that something as sweet as a blizzard will probably not even taste that good. My daughter decided I wanted a taste of hers and poked it in my mouth. Too sweet, just the one bite)

Hang in there!! This is the part that will be a challenge for all of us. The surgery fixes your body but not your head! You already had a taste and it didn't taste good, so that should hopefully deter you from looking further for a sweet treat. What would help? Some SF Jello? pudding? I don't even know what's OK and not OK yet, but why don't you give yourself an approved treat, something you haven't had in a while?

Hang in there, and find something else to do, like walk, nap, knit, something to keep your hands busy? When the craving passes, you'll feel so proud!
