I just bought a hershey choc bar and ate it. It took care of that craving. Just do not buy the jumbo pack. You can not win the battle without treating yourself every now and then. This is not like "Oh I can never have one of those now that I have had surgery."

It depends on how far out you are. If you are far enough to eat it, then eat it. A small piece of dove would fix that and make you feel better. I got the sleeve so I wouldn't have to diet forever. If you are still on mushies/puree or liquids grab a pudding or popsicle. Or drink a Protein shake!

Sugar Free Chocolate pudding is my go to or a small piece of dark chocolate. 1 small piece will help with the craving usually for me.

Chocolate is suppose to have some healthy attributes to it. However, this has sugar and sugar is addictive. Just learned this from 60 minutes so I am trying to avoid sugar. Anyways, try a piece of fruit for the sweetness. ;)

I have 3 dark chocolate, chocolate chips. I use ghiradelli chips and let them melt in my mouth. Yummy. But I limit it to once a week. Also there is a tcby frozen fudge pop that is good w 80 calories.

The other day, I did something B. A. D.!! I had a bit of a chocolate craving, so I was going to get one of those tiny Lindor truffle balls, but I couldn't find them, so I got a Cadbury chocolate egg. I thought I'd put my sleeve to the test. Just see where I am with this kind of thing. (risky, I know...) So, I nibbled on it for about five minutes. Finally choked it all down. Nothing. Nada. Zero. I felt FINE. (DARN IT) BUT......It tasted weird!! It did not taste like I remember chocolate tasting. There was a day I could have knocked back about 5 of those. That one did the trick for sure. I don't think I will bother again for a long time. Anyway...I don't think it killed me. It just won't be a habit.

Next time I'll go for the Protein bar!

      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.
