Just keep saying its not worth it. Read a book, play some games online to take your mind off of it. You can do it.

sugar free hard candy is a saving grace. It makes you feel bad.. but they are low calorie .. They have sugar alcohol which burns off in your body.

Had this same issue last month on Pre-op diet.

Hunts sugar free chocolate pudding cups are really decent and taste very chocolately, to me at least. I'm not sure where you are on your diet, but maybe that might get you the fix you need?

Or, if you need the real thing, I've found that a couple of teaspoons of mini chocolate chips will take care of a chocolate jones nicely. Each teaspoon is around 25 calories and it's more than you'd think it is. But I don't know what phase you're in, whether you're still doing sugar, whether having a bag in the house would drive you crazy, etc.

      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.
