Wondering about stretching your pouch?

[Polishanita1 1]

While I know that I haven't stretched my pouch, I find myself craving chocolate often... Anyone have any suggestions for stopping or circumventing these cravings?

Same! I was never a chocolate craver before surgery!

I went through a chocolate craving for a while. I bought some 60% cacao chips and put them in the freezer. In the evening I would eat about a tablespoon of them WITH some almonds to add some Protein. It was a nice little treat. Don't need it now. I also have chocolate Protein Drinks for a quick Meal Replacement in a pinch.

I also love adding 1tbsp of cocoa powder (Hershey's Extra Dark) with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to hot decaff coffee in the evenings. Feels like you're sinning for no extra sugar or artificial sweetener. Great polyphenols, a hit of magnesium, Fiber, and serious satisfaction for very very few cals. Add some canned whipped cream for about 10 cals and <1g of carb to feel even more decadent!
