Pms cravings! Help!



Recommended Posts

My first period since rny is due this week and I am dyingggg for a bite of chocolate and some heavy carbs (bread, Pasta, etc...). This is so typical of my PMS symptoms that I know that's what it is... I am wondering if maybe I tried a bit of Sugar Free Chocolate, if that would help. I went to the gym to try and get my mind off of it, but I could seriously cry. What I wouldn't give to sit with a bag of Oreos, a glass of milk, and some french fries right now... :(

I have no sugar added mint chocolate chip ice cream. I get maybe a tablespoon in my tiny bowl. I have to be careful of the chocolate though because too many chips and I'm not feeling well. I have it in the freezer and I only get a bowl when I'm really dying for a sweet or when the fam is eating ice cream. I feel safe enough eating it because honestly ice cream was never one of my big triggers. I have forbidden anyone to bring brownies in my home ever. That's my kryptonite.

As far as the carbs I have no idea what to suggest. What about sweet potatoes sliced up and baked in the oven? If you like them, which I do, and I was already using them as a sub for white potatoes before surgery. Oh and egg face has some awesome "cake" recipes that I haven't tried yet but I am willing to go for it. The reviews are good and there are quite a few chocolate types.

I've had Sugar Free Chocolate. I've also had regular chocolate. I just have it as a treat once in a great while and in small quantities.

I day have a Hershey's kiss and kill the craving. If I really want something I obsess and am better off taking a bite or two and getting over it. If I don't I start feeling deprived and end up over doing it when I finally cave.

I ended up buying sugar free Hershey's mini bars with caramel filling. SO DELICIOUS! I are one and put the bag away (knowing they could give me the runs was a great way of forcing myself to only have one! Haha).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
