Cravings for Sweets - What do you do?



Recommended Posts

i keep some good quality dark chocolate (like lindt) in the freezer. i break it up into smaller pieces ahead of time and then when i'm really craving some chocolate, i'll take out a piece or two and let it warm up on the kitchen counter. it really hits the spot cravings wise. also having to wait for it to un freeze prevents me from binging and gives me time to decide if i really want it.

I definitely second the Sugar Free Chocolate pudding topped with fat free reddi whip... sooo good! I also found a sugar free chocolate mousse mix that's delicious... the brand is sans sucre. Sometimes I just add a few extra splenda packets into my glass of iced tea and that satisfies the craving. Adkins has Peanut Butter cups out now that are really great. (disclaimer: I'm not sure how good they would have been to me before, but when I cut out sugar from my diet, the sugar-free things started to taste delicious!) There are also tons of 100 calorie packs out there that are great. I hope you find what works for you!

Thanks for all the great suggestions and the link to the website. The suggestion about waiting 20 minutes is great also. That "I want some candy and I want it now" portion of my brain is still active - much less active now but it still reminds me it is there from time to time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
