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.

      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.
