For me it is nuts! I love them, they are decent Protein but i find myself eating them more than I should. My favorite right now are unshelled pistachios.

Anything sweet. chocolate, Cookies, fudge, brownies, ice cream, sigh............ my kryptonite, especially if it has nuts I it.

I'm with you--especially at work. You have to go by the coffee and Snacks to get to the bathroom in our workroom!! Some days it's just fine, but even though I tell myself that I already know what they taste like, they still get me!!

I wish I could quit.....cheese. I put eat string cheese once a day but I also use laughing cow once a day and if I can justify it I put a cheese slice on my chicken at dinner. "protein" I tell myself.....even though I could easily skip it and still meet my Protein goal. I'm determined to get it down to one serving a day, period!

I also wish I could quit coffee creamer.....no I don't....yes I do.....no I don't! Ugh!! I feel deprived if I don't have my chocolate carmel coffee creamer in the morning! Since I absolutely positively refuse to deprive myself of anything ever again I will probably have it every morning in my coffee until I go to my grave!

Why cheese?

I wish I could quit grazing. I'm never hungry, but have developed the habit of noshing frequently during the day on whatever is available.... pretzels, crackers, leftover lunch items, etc. I've been in another stall, and I know that this is the reason why.

I absolutely have to take myself physically away from the food--and start thinking of something else. And I'm not always successful at doing that--I fight it every day--especially when I'm at work. I don't know if it's avoidance of doing something I don't want to do--or I just like to have something in my mouth. Sometimes gum will help.

For the people who said Quest bars--does this mean that we shouldn't be eating them? WHy not? I don't have them very often but I thought they were ok to have. Sigh. I need a really good list of what we can and can't have!! not just Protein and carbs but actually items. My head really has a hard time processing what is a carb, what isn't, what is ok, what to stay away from unless they are extremely obvious. Chicken=yes; ice cream=no.

@@esskay77, Quest bars are only bad if you abuse them like I do. I let them take the place of a non-processed natural Breakfast or snack pretty much every day. They haven't interfered with my weight loss, but I believe my digestive issues might be improved if I was eating more "cleanly." That being said, I'm still planning to have another one for breakfast this morning. They're really my favorite breakfast.

Peanut butter! Yeah, yeah, I know - there's the stuff you grind yourself, there's PB2, there's Peanut Butter flavored Protein - I've tried those and even use them sometimes.

But they're just not Jif.

That's what my mother fed me, and I will always, always love it!

@@IcanMakeit If you were to have a "clean" breakfast, what would it be? I have gotten hooked on Kashi Trail Mix bars for breakfast and know I should have something else but mmmmm.

      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.
