Curse you period cravings!



Recommended Posts

I need help to get these cravings under control! A couple days ago I couldn't make myself eat, and now I feel like I could shove anything and everything in my mouth! I'm also craving soda, which makes no sense because I haven't drank soda in almost two months. I've had to consciously tell myself to quit browsing the cabinets and fridge every time I walk through the kitchen. Grrr!

Some dark chocolate and almonds can help. I don't know what to tell you about craving soda you will just have to tough that one out. Get some sugar free hot chocolate. Its delish when you want something hot.

Also sugar free chocolate pudding helps me during those times. You can get the Jello brand in the refrigerated section and they have some good flavors for about 60 calories! If you buy the hunts Sugar Free Chocolate pudding (not in fridge section) it has 30% Calcium and about 60 calories / that helps me! I haven't drank any diet soda since I weaned myself off during my pre-op surgery diet. If you're craving something different to drink / try crystal light ( I love peach tea / there's also other flavors to kind-of change it up! Just a suggestion ;)

UGH....I hate this time of the month for this very reason. I crave anything salty and crunchy, doritos or cheetos mostly. I do let myself indulge in these items, I just make myself jog a little extra at the gym!!

Chocooooolaaaaate!!!!! I had my son hide his Halloween candy. The day after Halloween I ate two handfuls for Breakfast. Not sugar free....the bad good stuff. Being fat, banded, at Halloween on your period is just not right! And this is like my second week being on my period (PCOS...ugh dont ask) blah blah vent, done. : D

Girl I'm right there with you! Right down to the PCOS! I think I've eaten about a pound of candy in the last week!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
