I am 6 weeks post-op. doing well. Feel great. Lost 28 lbs so far. Can't eat most everything. Still have not tried Pasta, rice or bread. Or steak. Dying for a slice of cake. Thought I would share.

I have heard of people trying the item that they are craving. And once they try them they can only take a bite or two. The Dr told my husband that it was okay to have "one" cookie every now and then. Just think before the surgery it was 6-8 Cookies. Good luck.

I broke down and ate an Andre's thin mint today. It was heavenly and I savored it in tiny little pieces! Been craving pumpkin pie lately.

Hi there, I love cake too. My compromise was getting a cake pop from Starbucks. I had 2 slow bites and then was so full that I threw the rest out. They are only about 180 calories. It's not in any way nutritious, of course, but it will certainly fix your craving and keep you from having that depressing feeling that you're being deprived of something you want.

Oh girl, I always want cake. I'm too afraid to have any because then I'll just want MORE cake. I always always want cake. On my death bed I'm sure I will be craving cake.

Sigh.

Pumpkin pie??

Plain Greek yogurt,

pumpkin purée,

pumpkin pie spice

nutmeg and stevia mix together and voilà

Pumpkin pie taste in a Protein packed meal :)

Oh a little splash of vanilla extract too!

And after the surgery it can still be 6 or 8 cookies..

I ordered a variety pack of the ENS Vitamin Protein mixes from the Celebrate bariatric vitamin website. I got 3 flavors - chocolate, strawberry & vanilla cake batter. I am not partial to the cake batter because it's just soooo sweet but it does smell & taste just like cake batter would. Maybe having something like that around would help the cake cravings? I am still in the protein liquid stage (2 weeks post surgery) and I am sick to death of sweet. I hope I never crave cake again. I have been craving mushrooms, spinach, asparagus and I watched my daughter eat an Olive Garden salad and almost drooled from the urge to chew it with her. I can't wait for solids!

GNC has an AMAZING pumpkin spice total lean Protein shake right now! Soooo yummy.

I had Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie shake with a half tbsp of Peanut Butter in it last night. Tastes just like nutter butter Cookies.

Syntrax vanilla bean torte tastes like melted ice cream.

Syntrax mint chocolate cookie tastes like a mint ice cream

That's how I get my jollies these days.

      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.
