Hello everyone so I am now 2 months out of surgery have lost 53lbs and couldn't be happier with the weight loss. But lately I've been having the biggest cravings for sugar and dairy. Has anyone experienced this ?? Also I get some mood swings in the morning I'm happy but somewhat mid day my energy levels and even my mood gets lower and lower. I feel alone while I'm not. Is this normal

Hi, I am one month post op as of yesterday and lost 26lb's. I crave chocolate and I was always a savoury person. I actually went out to the shops to get some chocolate and I have never done that before. And yes, I flop out of bed....bark orders and by 3.00pm I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't have the energy, I am aware of it so really concentrate to be pleasant. Nope you are not alone at all!!

I am about 2 months out also and I notice that if I don't get enough Protein in during the day I have pretty bad cravings that night.

Yes!!! Protein will help! If you're craving chocolate there is a bar called power crunch that is super yummy

You're losing so fast hormones are flooding your body and you are still recovering from surgery. Get lots of rest, eat your Protein, and get all your liquids in. It will slow down and stabilize.

Thank you for your responses it's nice to see I'm never alone. Sugar cravings and dairy cravings continue I restarted my Protein shakes because I'm not able to really eat more than two bites and that not enough. Water intake I need to work on it's so hard not being able to chug water haha

Fairlife chocolate milk is high Protein, I tried it last week and it really satisfied a chocolate craving for me. I am not big on the powdered or pre-made shakes so I make one by mixing Greek cherry Dannon light and Fit with a half packet of Swiss miss no sugar added, milk of your choice and unflavored Protein powder. It is super creamy and a good chocolate cherry flavor
