Need Help With Cravings!!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
