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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
