I have always liked chocolate but usually I could take it or leave it. I would buy a bag of chocolate candies and it would last for weeks. Now, since surgery, I have been craving it like crazy and want it every single day. It's an overwhelming craving that I can't seem to shake until I have some. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I take my Flintstones vitamins.

My grocery store carries them with the cake mixes... They are SO good.

I tried the Big Train low carb hot cocoa last night and it is soooo GOOD! Too bad it has 3 grams of fat for a cup of hot cocoa. I guess for it to taste good it has to have carbs or fat one. LOL

I thought that there was somehting wrong with me. I have always liked chocolate...but nothing like since being banded. There are certain chocolate items that I have been eating that in the past never appealed to me.

I also take Flintstones Chewables. Mine are w/Iron. I don't think that the Vitamins are the catalyst for me. The PA in my surgeons office said that the sweet cravings may be an indication that I am not drinking enough Water.

After reading this post and realizing that I am not alone, I wonder if you are drinking enough water. Truthfully, I have not been. Let's see if increased water intake will take care of the chocolate cravings.

Okay, fess up you guys. How many (besides me) have gotten triple their Calcium intake by eating those chocolate Chewy Calium things? Ohhh, they are sooo good.

I justify it by saying I didn't take calcium yesterday so I need double the Chocolate... or Calcium chewys today. Right?

GUILTY! :faint:How did you know?

Cuz I just ate four of them? But it's not my fault, I can't find my glasses so I can't read the instructions and I'm just making sure I get my calcium in for the day. :huggie:

~snorts~

I did that yesterday! LOL

So you guys are able to eat the calcium chews without a problem? I've been scared to try any sticky type stuff since I had an issue with jelly beans awhile back. I will try the chews and see if that helps. The calcium cant hurt and those lemon chewable calcium tablets I have been taking are not very good.

I take the Viactiv chews, and I don't have a problem with them, but my band isn't very tight right now. But if you chew and chew and chew them, I doubt they'd give you trouble, and you'd get to enjoy them a little longer! :huggie:
