Craving something sweet



Recommended Posts

I tried this a few weeks ago and loved it! I did it crustless and added a few nuts and SF chocolate chips... you might wanna leave it plain at 4 weeks but it would be good for the pureed/mushy phase.

Won't be sweet if you eat it plain (Ricotta). It reminds me of cottage cheese' date=' only dryer. How bout plain or vanilla greek yogurt, mix in Tblsp. of lowfat/low sugar Peanut Butter then swirl in SF Jelly of your choice and viola! PB + J![/quote']

Well, that's genius.

If you are craving sweet, melt a piece of chocolate in your mouth, dark chocolate is better. But don't deprive yourself to that's all you think about. Just have it but don't make a habit

I mix a 6 oz plain Greek yogurt with two tablespoons of fat free/sugar free Jello pudding mix (the powder) and then add in a couple packs of Splenda, and it tastes just like cheesecake!

You may not be able to have this yet but I bought some chocolate Protein bars from Bariatric Choice, they taste just like a Nestlé crunch bar and they have 160 calories, 6 carbs, and 10 grams of Protein, I don't eat them every day but when I crave chocolate it hits the spot!

Nonfat/sugar free pudding (there are many flavors available), plus a scoop of Protein Powder in the mix when you make it... I have some cheesecake flavored ones in the fridge, which I added a scoop of chocolate Protein powder to the mix. Gets your protein in and tastes good.

sugar free jams are very sweet if you are looking for that sweet to be satisfied. Careful with the ones with any seeds in them. Add it to yogurt or cottage cheese, very satisfying.

Trust me, at this stage if you eat more than a bite or two of anything with sugar you will probably be miserable. There are a lot of good sugar free options, keep trying until you find the right one. Good luck, and don't give in. You can do this!

Sugar Free Chocolate puddings have saved my life since surgery. I have one every night as my desert. dinner is so tiny and we eat early so I need something filling and with Protein before bed. At 3 months post op, I add finely chopped almonds for crunch and my sleeve tolerates it well.

I sometimes go out and get sugar free fat free French vanilla Froyo with fresh strawberries but I am 12 weeks idk how far out you are but you may need to skip strawberries. There are 70 cal in 8 oz at the place I go and it really doesn't have that weird"sugar free" taste as some things do :)

      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.
