Craving sweets so bad



Recommended Posts

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
