Recommended Posts

I do not understand your question.

If you have a taste for something sweet, remember that is a learned behavior.

Unlearn it with some iced lemon Water or Water with Crystal Light mixed in.

Or do what I do. I tell myself, "Been there. Done that. I'm on a new path to a brand new me. Something sweet for a moment is not as sweet as being in a size 14 jeans."

I don't give into it. I distract myself saying those words over and over again.

Best to you!

I eat either dannon light & fit greek yogurt or the oikos greek yogurt zero in flavors like strawberry cheesecake or caramel apple pie. Many of these yogurts have 12 grams of Protein and I choose the flavors with less than 15 grams of carbs. I also eat low carb Protein Bars. Everytime I want something sweet, I reach for a protein rich sweet.

Oikos Triple Zero is my new best friend. Just finished a peach.

@giturefeatherweight you are the 1st person I noticed that uses the PROTIEN bars. I am usually on the go so they make following the rules much easier. What brand and flavor do you use? Also for the Oikos yogurt try the limited edition salted caramel ... oh so good. I ate this even before these menus rules were put into place for me....

I love the Power Crunch Protein bars. Careful, they are addicting! Allll of their flavors are to die for. But they have a salted caramel that is soooooo good!

This may not be the best answer but i eat it. If i want something sweet i eat it. I can eat so little i dont feel like it makes a difference. This is NOT something i do often im not really a sweet person. I personally feel like too much restriction (followed by binges) is what got me here in the first place. So my strategy is to try to eat like a normal person and enjoy things in moderation. 90-10 rule

I m like that too. If I try to ignore the cravings, it will get worse and all I think about is ice cream but if I have a spoonful of ice cream when I want it, I can stop there.

      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! 😞
