always hungry and eat chocolate



Recommended Posts

I'm not really a sweet or junk food eater but I do love juice and soda, my family will buy icecream and it can sit there for months and I won't touch it. I'm afraid that after I have surgery that I may find a new love for o no!

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. :)

I allow myself some treats. It's unrealistic to think that you can just cut everything out and succeed. It can happen, but it's rare. I just find better alternatives. Instead of chips, I get Special K cracker chips or Jax and I limit how much I have. Instead of milk chocolate, I either have dark chocolate or sugar free. For ice cream, I sometimes get the Skinny Cow ice cream bars. I also have never dumped so I just have to make sure I make better choices. My bf is awesome, he'll really crack down on me if he finds I'm eating something I shouldn't. It's annoying but honestly I really appreciate it. I call him the food nazi lol

This what the clinic and doctors said , don't cut norhing out try everything but moderation. If you can eat it good if not try later.

When I get a sweet tooth I grab about 4 raisins and some vanilla greek yogurt. fruit usually will help satisfy a sweet tooth also. For those of you that do dump...be very careful because even fruit can bring it on.

I have cravings, too, and am searching for natural ways to cure the sweet tooth. SugarFree is great to satisfy a craving, but remember the sugar is relaxed by chemicals that aren't good for you either. With that said, I admit I have a box of sf Popsicles in the freezer for a treat every now and then. Fresh strawberries are sweet right now, so that's working.

I use Atkins Protein bars for Snacks and meals. Never have tried the indulge Treats. But I have been very pleased with the snack bars and meal bars from atkins. I prefer the snack/meal bars over the indulge treats because they have higher Protein. The Atkins bars have helped me with my sweet tooth and in keeping blood sugar stable. The only disadvantage that I koe of from the bars is that they can cause flatulence (farting). They have helped me manage my weight.

I have two snack bars per day, one mid morning and one mid morning.m I buy the, from Amazon because amazon offers greater variety.

I hope that this info somehow is of help to you on your weight loss journey. It has helped mine.

In any case, I wish you the greatest of success on your weight loss journey!

      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.
