Sent from my Z982 using BariatricPal mobile appI too struggle with a big sweet tooth. Best bet is to not buy candy/desserts...instead buy sugar free pudding or sugar free Jello. Bc your pouch only fits so much a few spoon fulls should get your pouch satisfied and quench that sweet urge. Doesn’t mean that occasionally you can have a bite or two of a dessert but my suggestion would be to not have that stuff regularly or kept in your house where temptation can creep up on you. Keep strong and do the best you can do...everyday is a learning exp and trying to retrain your brain and bad habits. Bad habits have been the hardest for me as well...specifically sweets...skittles etc. I’m a work in progress too. I struggle daily too but I just try my best every day...sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fall down...but I get back up and tomorrow is a new day. Good luck and YOU CAN DO THIS!!😊👍🏻 2 mparker26 and RaeSlayVSG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anl1990 91 Posted February 6, 2019 I know how you feel - I struggle with urges as well. I do my best to make sure not to have unhealthy options available - as cliché as it is, 'out of sight, out of mind'. I also do my best to distract myself. It will get easier, just stay strong! 2 mparker26 and hopeful333 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
