What to do when you a test for something sweet



Recommended Posts

@giturefeatherweight you are the 1st person I noticed that uses the PROTIEN bars. I am usually on the go so they make following the rules much easier. What brand and flavor do you use? Also for the Oikos yogurt try the limited edition salted caramel ... oh so good. I ate this even before these menus rules were put into place for me....

Oops. Accidentally hit post on my iPad before I was finished. I was going to say that I like the flavor of some of the Quest bars but the dense, sticky texture just ruins them for me.

After weeks of liquid diet, I still get nauseous thinking about anything sweet but my favorite treats are superfood fruits. They contain so much more than just Vitamins. They have Fiber, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and a whole slew of benefits for your skin, hair, and body health. Can't get all of those in a pill. Hehe

I have a juicy pomelo in my refrigerator right now that I think I'll have a few slices for Breakfast with some cheese.

Make Cookies out of a Quest bar. Only eat one or two which is 1/8th ,for two, of a quest bar. Check out the world according to egg face. Google it, it is a blog by a very successful wls patient and she puts out tons of great recipes that are wls friendly and taste great for all sorts of savory and sweet alternatives.

There is a cherry pie upstairs on the shelf.. I have been trying to ignore it since afternoon.. it's 1 am and I don't think I will be able to sleep unless I have a bite or two.. a slice of it is apparently 390 calories.. half a slice would be almost 200 calories.. I could cry just now.. damn you ovulation..

I love the Power Crunch Protein Bars. Careful, they are addicting! Allll of their flavors are to die for. But they have a salted caramel that is soooooo good!
Thanks, I'm putting in an Amazon order now.

I have a slice of rock melon and Water melon, with either Chobani yoghurt and vanilla essence and cinnamon, or bit of custard. This satisfies my sweet craving.

I've learnt that I can't have a bit of ice-cream or even frozen yoghurt, as I then want more of those .....

At times, I have something salty instead, like chicken broth with a teaspoon of sesame oil, and this kills my sweet craving.

Check out HALO Top ice cream and Eat Me Guilt Free. Both have lots of high Protein low carb choices. I also use polaners no sugar added jelly I add a tablespoon to Greek plain yogurt or go 1% cottage cheese and it gives you the sweet flavor for only 10 calories and like 5 carbs. The have several flavors. Also the oikos triple zero yogurts. They have salted caramel, mixed berry, chocolate, coffee and many other flavors, help with protein and will give you the sweet kick you need.

      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.
