Cant Stop Eating Choc



Recommended Posts

Why go to great lengths to have surgery and sabotage yourself with chocolate. Do you want this or not? Stop eating candy that is why we all were over weight. You are defeating the whole purpose if you continue to go on the path you are on.

couldnt have said it any better than this in response...

I LOVE the swiss miss diet hot cocoa - very chocolate-y but doesn't trigger cravings, since it's a completely different consistency....

I'm 6 weeks post op in the last week I can't get enough of choc & chips im eating it I think because it goes down well but it's so wrong.

How do I stop???

You just stop. I know it sounds like tough love... But you are the one in the drivers seat. You must eliminate all the junk food and just stop thinking about it. No one can make you stop but yourself.

While losing I had chocolate almost daily. In the form of a Fiber one 90 calorie brownie, a 40 calories sugar free fudge popsicle, a sugar free pudding cup or sugar free hot cocoa. I made it part of my 1000 calories for the day and I ate it. It was a conscious choice and I planned for it.

If you want to be fat... Keep on with mindless eating. But I doubt that's what you want or you wouldn't ha e asked for help. Be strong and dig deep for the strength to make this happen

I hear ya, I have had a couple andes mints here and there, but how I stop my self from going overboard is thinking, I just spent $1500 out of pocket, went through a surgery. No way did I do all that just to screw it up. You are the only one that can control you. If it helps get all that stuff out of the house. If its not there then you can't east it. You really just have to be strong, get your mind off the cravings. Excercise, go read a book, watch a movie, call a friend. That band is just a tool, it won't work if you don't use it.

I can't keep chocolate or chips (or other junk) in my house, because if it's here, I'll hear it calling to me.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
