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

      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.
