Sweet Tooth

[lifeofblair 308]

So I'm craving something sweet but don't want to cheat.. What does everyone else do? Any tips, suggestions?

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.

sugar free popsicles

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.

Between Protein Shakes, Protein pudding, sugar-free Popsicles, Mio drops, calcium chews, yogurt, fresh fruit, Quest bars, etc., I never feel deprived from something sweet and/or chocolate.< /p>

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!

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

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

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.

Quest bars

Greek yogurt (yeah I do the flavored ones wth no added sugar like Damon light and fit and yoplait Greek 100 and oikos triple zero)

Berries

Protein mug cakes (couple great recent threads on this)

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.

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
