Chocolate After Sleeve?!



Recommended Posts

I'm about three weeks post op, but just getting ready...

I bought some Lily's chocolate baking chips (I'd read about them on here). Curious to see what's people's reactions have been to consuming chocolate post-sleeve, when you had it for the first time, and if there are any other kinds out there to recommend?

The only chocolate I get these days is the chocolate Protein Shake. Pre WLS I was a chocolate fiend. It wasn't a good relationship as it contributed to my weight gain and I'm sure it didn't help my diabetes. I'm trying to not introduce the foods that led to my health demise pre WLS. I'm the type that a "little" always turns into more than I should have.

The Lily's that I ordered came in the mail today--the nutrition facts are FAB, and the serving size is 60 chips, which is FAR more than I could even potentially eat at this point. I tried a couple of chips, let them melt, enjoyed them, and seem to tolerate them well! I've always been much more of a salty snack than sweet fan, but as a person who really digs baking and wants to incorporate healthier ingredients, I think this will work out nicely! sugar free (stevia sweetened), low carb, low calorie, low fat...

It's Lily's chocolate--I ordered it from Walmart, but I know Amazon sells it, as does Thrive Market online. I'm sure there are other places as well :)

While I'm not really a chocolate person. It is Winter and snowing quite a bit. What's the viability of making hot chocolate with something like this? I've never made hot chocolate with anything but that cheap powder ****

Can you make hot chocolate with chips, would it be decent? I tried making my own with cocoa powder and splenda, and it was extremely bitter and disgusting

Hmm... maybe if you add skim milk while it's melting in the pot? I'll play around with that as well and let you know! Maybe putting some unflavored Protein in it will be better?

Nope! Mine said nothing at all about it. I've seen others within this site talking about this brand, so I gave it a whirl!

Have you guys tried the ProtiDiet hot chocolate??? So good! It satisfies the chocolate craving and 15 grams of Protein a cup. I get it on Amazon.

I haven't even heard of that! I'll definitely give it a try! Thank you!

chocolate doesn't bother me. I had chocolate Protein Shakes from the get go. Actual chocolate I would say, maybe 3-4 months post op I might have had a bite. I'm not a huge chocolate person but when I do have a piece here and there I prefer plain old dark chocolate.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
