Controling Your SWEET TOOTH

[coolnessa22 26]

So My Pre Op Appointment is only a couple of weeks away and I have been winging myself off of certain foods and drinks. I quit soda, alcohol, and now just stopped drinking coffee and that's a big one for me. I am trying to stay focused but some days I just want something sweet and don't know how to fight the craving. I was just wondering how you all fight the craving and stay on track or what substitutes you use? Need some motivation and support, please share.

I am almost into my 6 week pre-op diet which is mostly Protein Drinks. What I have heard that helps with the sweet tooth is SF pop-cycles or SF Jello. It's the one thing that you'll get to eat after the surgery so it might help before. What helps me is I use a little more Mio in my Water. It makes it sweet and helps me with my craving. I have quit everything like you but the soda is the one thing that is difficult for me. Considering where I was 4 months ago I have quit a lot of things that are bad for me. Can't wait to hear how your pre-op appointment goes

I make a protine shake. I mix pure choclate flavored protibe with almond milk and ice and blend. It makes a milkshake like taste. Love it. Sometimes I add a spoon of Peanut Butter.< /p>
