I'm 15 days banded and I'm doing really well. My cycle is about to start and that's when I indulge in sweets. Are there there any suggested "treats" besides Jello? I need something to pack for work!

I have no answers. I just finished my cycle and some how managed to gain 2 pounds. I have NO idea how I did that, but I did. Ugh!

Are you allowed SF pudding? It's a staple for me when I want something sweet. What about SF sucking candies. Sometimes one of those like a butterscotch can satisfy the sweet tooth.

I think sugar-free would be fine. I sometimes whip together sugar free pudding and diet whipped topping to make a mousse-like dessert. And I have to admit to enjoying a candy called Chick-O-Stick (crunchy peanut butter/toasted coconut) and it's 70 calories for 3 pieces. I can get enough sweet from just one piece. In a pinch, I have a tiny bit of something sweet. I find I really can't handle too much sweet stuff anymore anyhow.

Try the mousse though. I also use skim milk when making the pudding, just mix it as regular and whip/blend together with the whipped topping.

Can you make a smoothie? There are lots of great recipes online like, cinnamon roll, oatmeal cookie ones etc.

I like to put chocolate Protein Powder skim milk 1/4 packet of chocolate sugar free pudding and ice In a blender. Add a banana or Peanut Butter

Helps curb the sweet tooth. And the pudding and ice give it a milk shake texture.

I suggest dessert sugar free gum. They have great flavors, chocolate mint, peach cobbler and cinnamon roll. I bought these gums yesterday at target.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
