What's your sweet treat?



Recommended Posts

I have the biggest sweet tooth! Before surgery I could sit down and eat an entire bag of Cookies no problem :/... after surgery I'm finding that I still crave sweets but want to make healthy choices. My go to's so far have been Greek Yogurt with slivered almonds or Strawberries and blueberries with sugar free cool whip. Wondering what everyone else eats when they crave a goodie?

I have my Calcium and Biotin chews as dessert. I got the berry flavor of each!

Coffee! I found some really great sugar free Creamers that taste really good. It helps when I'm craving something sweet and does not have many calories.

Power pudding!

Sugar free/fat free Jello pudding + Protein powder + greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) + unsweetened almond milk.

Sometimes I add sugar free Torani Syrup for a twist on flavor. Like today I had: chocolate pudding + sugar free Torani Almond Roca flavor + 1/2 scoop chocolate Protein Powder + greek yogurt + unsweetened almond milk.

I blend using an immersion blender.

I eat half in the morning and half in the evening.

Really fast ones are Dole strawberry dippers from the frozen food aisle. It's basically a whole strawberry split in four pieces and each piece is dipped in dark chocolate. 60 calories, 4 grams of fat, 6 carbs, 0 Protein. I don't do them often but only when I'm really craving something like a cookie and the protein yogurts don't do it for me.

Once in a while, I take Peanut Butter and mix it in with chocolate Protein powder and roll into balls about the size of chocolate covered cherries. A couple of times, I have done that and then rolled them in melted dark chocolate.

I'm mostly satisfied with fruit, but my go to is still chocolate. I go back and forth between basic mini Reese's Peanut Butter cup or fancy dark chocolate with sea salt. I'm partial to brand like Vosges or Lindtz. The different is now one tiny piece completely satisfied me and they truly are occasional treats and not daily or even weekly treats.

I keep a bag of mini York peppermint patties in the freezer for when I can't get that chocolate craving satisfied. They sooth the beast when I need it.

        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
