kristy3k 1,133 Posted March 26, 2013 Hey Wayne. I started craving chocolate too and am a little over a year out. I have started eating one Fiber one brownie a day. Maybe not everyday. But it's 90 cal and has good fiber which I am always in need of and a couple of grams of Protein. So for me it's a good choice! And satisfies my craving. 7 jenneliza, jackie-o, tcotheran83 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helen48 3 Posted April 4, 2013 I am 18 months post op and am always hungry. No dumping but get exhausted after eating to much sugar. I am starting to gain some inches but my weight has stayed the same. I don't do to much exercise and I know this is half the problem. I too am looking for advice solutions, and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks Helen. 1 KerryBeary85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted April 4, 2013 This is a thread I've been searching for!!! I'm 8 months post always hungry!!! It's my running joke now. I'm always hungry! I also developed a sweet tooth and can eat chocolate and not dump. It's sooooo hard! I bought myself fun size bag of chocolates and allow myself to eat 1-2-3 MAX per day. And I don't do it all at once one afternoon one evening and maybe one before bed or in bed. I do not do it every night but I'm aware if what I'm doing and practice will power. I do have a big bag of chocolate! Lol .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::. 1 KerryBeary85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tammy1472 6 Posted April 7, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm 3 months post op.. And I've had chocolate , those little foil wrapped Easter eggs.. Instead of eating the whole bag, I had 3-4 and no dumping... Everyone is different , and you can still have a treat but just don't over do it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaCC 47 Posted April 7, 2013 I bought sugar free fudgsicles! Hits that spot nicely! I've decided I'm just going to keep looking for sugar free stuff or bake sugar free stuff at home. There are new ways to scratch the itch, we just need to search them out.

JustJenn 542 Posted April 8, 2013 Girl u r flirting w the devil! Lol. There is no way in hell I could do that. I'd b so do scared of going back to old habits. Does that scare u? Do u not even get diarrhea or anything. U have got some serious will power! I just seen that you replied. I don't feel that way. I haven't over done it. I'm in grad school, just finished comps. That's why I bought the bag. I was studying and craving. I'm done and over it too. I know my limits and know how long it takes to work off 100 calories let alone how hard it is to lose the weight even with wls. I also don't dump. But again, I stress... I know my limits and have a huge bag and only allow myself one at a time. Most days I don't even touch it. I've done my personal best and using my wls tool but I'm human and don't want to live limited. But please follow your doctor and don't try this a home lol .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.
