Cravings and insatiable!



Recommended Posts

Every once in awhile I have a day that I feel completely insatiable. I seem to crave sweets? But I'm not sure if that's what I am craving because when I do eat them I don't like them. . No amount of food seems to satisfy me- I can only eat small portions so I have to keep eating throughout the day.

I feel this urge, intense craving and I can't pin it down so I just keep trying different things!!

I can't figure out why this happens.

I am still trying to lose a couple more pounds so I've been keeping my calories about 1000-1200... Today I had 1600 which is the most I've had in weeks.

Is this my body trying to tell me not to lose anymore? Am I dehydrated?

Anyone else experiencing this?

It depends on what you are eating. Often when our body is craving carbs it manifest as craving sweets. Sometimes something with a bit of healthy fat like an ounce of nuts, a tbsp of nut butter, cheese cubes and maybe a tiny bit of dried fruit like raisins, cranberries or apricots or a bit of string cheese may hit the spot. I find I can eat a very small amount of fried fruit like 10 raisins and take care of that sweet craving. I'm not a nutritionist so I have no idea why that works. You may have to play around and see what works for you.

Wow.... Same here... I think your body is actually deficient in something else and it's manifested in the form of sweets... I usually drink Water to try and curve this before the issue gets out of control. Excersise also curves my cravings for sweets also

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
