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).

      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.
