When you guys have a urge for candy do you eat sugar free candy? What do you do? I know hot chocolate but not feeling my craving!!! My hormones are all jacked up!! How do you survive the times when in your head all u want to do is eat what do you do?

I have a stash of sugar free lollipops, but some folks get loose stools from sugar free candy. Whatever you do, DO NOT EAT SUGAR FREE Gummy BEARS!!!!!!!!! :(:huh: :wacko: Look up the thread. You will be horrified and amused at the same time. You have been warned.

I'm about 8 weeks out. I've noticed that when I eat sugar it seems to set the carb monster loose. I intentionally had a latte with Syrup in it (I was feeling bad/weak and hoped the sugar would help. It did.) After that I craved sweets for 3 days. I dunno, maybe it is all in my head! Protein bars seem to do the same thing to me because they are too much like candy. For that reason Protein Bars are a no go for me at this time. I need to find some carbs for pre-exercise that don't set the carb monster loose.

I'm having a hard time these last two weeks!! I have loss like 63 pounds surgery dec 10 and I'm starting to be able to eat more!!! I do have at a but not to many like a whole what low carb wrap half of it and maybe some rice but nothing to be worried about!!!

It scares me bc I went from not eating not being hungry to now I have hunger pains if I don't eat or I get sick!!! Lost 63 pounds and I still wear te same size it's disheartening and you try to stay focus but it's hard!!!

Just my mind killing me right now my hormones are whacked right now

      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.
