Craving sweets so bad

I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and doing good but I started my period 3 days ago and I'm craving chocolate or anything sweet so bad right now. I gave in and had 2 of those mini Snickers :blush:

Hope this helps. With sweets, at least for me, i have a craving for a specific thing and no substitute satisfies that... except time... when I can't get it right away and I end up not wanting it, since i couldn't have it right when I wanted it.

Can't comment on the taste but it seems to be a bit of variety. I've ordered some stuff just to sample and see if i'll like it.

Thank you. For your suggestions. Im not usually a sweets person but right now the cravings are strong. Right now I'm feeling beyond nauseating from those 2 small pieces of chocolate. Lesson learned.

I screwed up and had a bit of pizza yesterday and it tore my stomach up something bad. (well like 5 bites) Wondering if the snickers did the same to you? ... You just replied as i'm typing this so I know the pain your going through. Doc told me to make sure i got my full 8 glasses in for the day, among some other words that I deserved. If it gets too bad give your Doc a call. Try to get some of those fudge pops to satisfy that immediate craving so no more slip ups but I doubt you need the encouragement. I know i'm not touching pizza again for a very long while.

Drinking water has been so hard too. I drink about 32 oz of watered down sweet tea. If I try just doing straight water I drink about 16oz the whole day. I have a Dr appointment this Thursday and I'm sure my Dr. is not gonna be very happy.

Same for me. Crystal light and lime water with Trivia (my version of limeade) has been my savior. I rotate in the morning have water, crystal light, then limeade. I count my soup as liquid too. its mostly water. I'm up to about 4-5 glasses per day. Hoping today will be better. I started off with a glass but been typing to much to drink.

I'm off for a walk. Good luck on Thursday. Be prepared to get your a$$ handed to you a little. Good news is, you only have a few more weeks before you can get some different types of food in your body.

I will definitely get me some crystal light. Thanks.
