I eat anywhere between 900-1200 calories a day, between about 200-400 per meal. lunch is usually the largest with about 400 and breakfast and dinner is between 150-300.

Sugar is a drug for me. If I have a little one day, I want it the next day and the next day. I'm 4 weeks off sugar now and I find I have no cravings for it because its not in my body. chocolate is empty calories and is preventing you from losing weight.

I have chocolate cravings from time to time, but fix it with SF choc pudding.

What I learned is that I give in to a STRONG craving, I do so sparingly. I've resorted to getting two or three Hershey Kisses, or mini candy bars at the grocery store check out. They never charge me cuz they figure it's so low, it won't register. I must be very lucky!

I picked up some Nestle fat free hot chocolate today and it is pretty yummy. You add it to 6oz of hot Water, and it's only 20 calories. I recommend it! Satisfies a bit of that sweet tooth.

Stonyfield Oikos Greek Yogurt comes in chocolate, its a 4 pack of 4oz containers, 100 calories, 10g protien, 0 fat. It's pretty good, helps with the chocolate cravings. I also make popsicles out of the pre mixed protien shakes, like EAS or Adkins. I pour the shake into a popsicle mold, 1 shake makes 6 popsicles ~ course we are heading into winter so hot chocolate sounds much better. I just bought the Nestle fat free hot chocolate today. :)

sugar free pudding, popsicles and sugar free hot chocolate sound terrific. I don't think any of us should be eating chocolate after weight loss surgery. It's self sabotage.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
