Need my sugar fix



Recommended Posts

I think that you shouldn't deprive yourself when you have a craving for sweets. Eat a couple of Oreo Cookies. Just buy the small size in the convenient store or something and eat two or three. I bet you will be satisfied with just that and the calories, carbs and fats won't be too bad with a serving size. If I don't satisfy my craving when I have one, I end up going way over board when I finally do eat something good. It is so much easier to eat a little bit with the sleeve. You are doing a GREAT job by the way. Go ahead and allow yourself a treat from time to time.

SF Popsicles are great. They are super low calorie. SF fudesicles were my life saver in the beginning.

Now I really like Jello Mouse in the chocolate Mint.

I didn't have much of a sweet tooth pre-op, AND I didn't really like chocolate. But now I do get a sweet craving every now and then, it's weird. And what do I satisfy it with? One small square of very dark chocolate. :D Weird, but it seems to do the trick.

I too have experienced this...and it's very frequent lately. I've spoken with my trainer about it, and he's thinking that because I'm working out so hard (weights) my body is demanding refinded sugars (carbs). So, for the last 30 days, I'll eat a square or 2 of dark chocolate, or suck on a Jolly Rancher candy, daily. It's not effected my weight in the least....I'm at goal. Your body is trying to tell you something. It's missing something it needs.....just my 2 cents.

If I need something sweet, I usually go for a piece of whole wheat bread with about a teaspoon of Nutella. Great stuff, it always relieves my chocolate cravings and I don't feel guilty afterwards (:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
