Sugar Cravings?

tipper · June 13, 2006

Just wondering if anyone out there has extreme sugar cravings after fills. I'm guessing that my body knows that I've cut back on everything and sends a signal for something, anything..sugary!

Generally, I'm not a sweets person (a more of a meat, potatoe, Pasta girl) but for the last 2 weeks since I got my fill I am dying for any kind of sugar. Ideas?

When that happens to me I go for the individual sized sweet things. And low-calorie/low-fat whenever possible. So for example, Blue Bunny ice cream makes low-fat ice cream bars that are only 90 calories. There are a lot of similar items. You can get popscicles too that are sugar free or even regular isn't that high in calories.

I also take my chocolate flavored Slim-fast Optima, mix it up with a spoonful of PB and a banana and it makes for an awesome shake. You can thin it down and make it stretch for 2-3 servings too.

Let's see... there's pudding cups too. Oh! Or I REALLY love the 99cent Frosty from Wendy's when I'm really jonesen for some chocolate. It's tiny in size and just hits the spot.

Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck!

Sugar Free Fat Free chocolate pudding has saved my life. Just a little melodrama to let you know you're not alone.

I really haven't noticed an increased desire for sweets since my fill, but I admit that I have something sweet at least once a week. If I didn't, I'd jump off a cliff. More melodrama.

I have used chocolate flavored hard candies when I really HAVE to have chocolate...they have about 20 calories and last a long time so they satisfy me.
