Chocolate cravings and dreaded PMS



Recommended Posts

Forgive me men, but I need the ladies ears for a moment!

I'm 4 weeks post op and am dealing with my first real pms cravings. I want chocolate! What do you veterans do to stifle your cravings? Tonight I mixed a tbsp of organic Peanut Butter and Sugar Free Chocolate pudding and that seemed to kill it. When is it safe to eat even a small square of dark chocolate? That used to be my go to before surgery!

Try adding unsweetened cocoa powder to your chocolate Protein Shakes. It's low calories and adds some additional chocolate flavor. If you like Peanut Butter I recommend PB2. It's powdered peanut butter and much lower in fat than conventional peanut butter. (I mix it into vanilla Protein shakes)

I made a DELICIOUS Protein shake with half a container of my chocolate ready to drink Protein Shake (Premier Protein, but you can really use anything), a handful of ice cubes, and a single serving container of SF chocolate pudding.

It tasted like brownie batter and it was DELICIOUS.

Dark chocolate Protein pudding, chocolate Protein Shakes, chocolate calcium chews, chocolate protein bars...I haven't had many days without chocolate since surgery.

I haven't seen dark chocolate protein pudding? Is there a brand name that sells that?

I like the WonderSlim Dark Chocolate. I make it as is or add PB2 to it and it really hits the chocolate spot for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
