I'm 5 weeks out and I'm struggling With wanting candy and chocolate. I am also feeling like I want to eat and I'm not even hungry!! I would love some office to not fall back into my old habits!! Thank you.

Frankly, between the chocolate protein shakes, chocolate protein pudding, chocolate calcium chews, chocolate is not something I go without. I also like the caramel calcium chews.

My sweet tooth was not removed with my surgery <boo>. I tell myself all the time that this surgery is not a magic bullet. It is a tool. I know I should have lost more by now and continue to be my own worse enemy. But slow and steady is better than nothing.

I continue to be a work in progress. I did not gain this overnight and I will not lose it overnight.

head hunger can be a real ***** can't it?

but when I want a candy bar I usually work a triple chocolate power crunch Protein bar into my regimen or I make an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate shake with fairlife milk and add some PB powder for a reese taste.

when I want ice cream I have a sugar free popsicle.

I find that when I am doing what I am supposed to do, getting my fluids and protein most of the time it quiets the cravings.

and sometimes I just tell myself NO, and pick up one of my hobbies to keep my hands busy and get through it.
