From early on in the liquid pre-op diet, I was able to get 100% of my desire for sweets in my Calcium citrate chews.

Bariatric Advantage Chewy bites 500's.

chocolate

Chocolate-Peanut Butter

Caramel

assorted fruit flavors, too.....which I now prefer. I"m not into the sweets much anymore.

I can't speak highly enough about this product. Excellent. I really looked forward to my 3/day+

Calorie free Jello is another.

coffee is with Splenda & Fairlife milk or Fairlife chocolate milk is another source of great flavors that tides me over nicely.

Funny, I woke up feeling the same way. Applesauce did it for me!

My fix is usually sugar free chocolate pudding snack mixed with 1/2 scoop of chocolate Protein powder. And actually the Premier Protein ready made shakes kind of cure that sweet tooth for me too. (Of course I crave more salty anyway, so I may not be the best person to ask...)

Thanks for the ideas! I do the pudding a lot. I've just been on Pinterest (bad idea) and saw a bunch of cookie recipes and it got my sweet tooth going. I haven't really had a sweet tooth since surgery or at least not like it was before.

Lately I have been resolving that issue with Bariatricpal hot chocolate. It is 80 or 90 calories, it has great Protein and really gets rid of my sweet tooth.

You can get them in the BariatricPal Store. They are expensive but really worth it. Even my husband who is not watching his weight (even though he needs to), loves them.

There are so many favors to pick from. Right now I am having a mocha hot chocolate.< /p>

I suck on lollipops when I want something sweet. I figure 20 minutes to suck a lollipop. That's 20 minutes of me not snacking or,eating cake, candy etc. plus it kills that's craving.

How far out from surgery are you? I'm five months out and just had some low sugar hot chocolate. Such a wonderful treat after shoveling snow!

While I was losing, my sweets came from:

vanilla Greek yogurt

Calcium chocolate chewables (which I have after dinner in the evening)

Now I'm on maintenance and have a bigger calorie budget than when I was still losing weight. ;)

I just discovered a yummy snack called Nut Exactly. A coworker brought them in and I just tried them. They have a little chocolate and nuts and taste about as close as I can get to a Peanut Butter cup within my nut's sugar recommendations. A 10-piece serving has 7 grams of sugar and 9 grams of fat.

Help, im 1 year out from gastric bypass and can't lose anymore weight, what should I do differently

You may want to start your own thread with this question as it doesn't relate to the original topic and may not get answered.

Good luck and I hope something works for you to get your journey kicked into gear again

Plain greek yogurt with sugar free Jello or pudding powder in it.

It is delish and I have it at least once a day!

Orange is my fave with a couple orange segments in it! Yum

      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.
