Craving sweets



Recommended Posts

sugar free pudding, Light and fit yogurt, a Protein Bar (these work for some people but they slow my weight loss for some reason).

Say cheese diet cheesecake is really good. It has 95 calories, 6 grams of carbs and 8 grams of Protein. What's the catch? It's crazy expensive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFWP912/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One of my favorite treats is Kitu Super Coffee: https://shop.drinksupercoffee.com/products/maple-pumpkin-super-coffee

I heat it up. add a dash of sugar-free flavoring and a couple of Splendas. It has 70 calories, 3 grams of carbs and 10 grams of protein. it tastes like a latte and is very satisfying. Be careful though, it's real coffee with caffeine so treat it like you would any other coffee product.

Personally I don't do well with sugar-free candy, like Atkins Peanut Butter cups and similar products. My weight loss slows considerably if I eat them regularly.

Hope that helps!

I am in LOVE with PowerCrunch bars - I've found them at Walmart, Publix, and Target. They have a bunch of flavors. Full disclosure, they aren't the *best* nutritionally, but I eat about 1/2 of one every day. They do NOT taste like Protein Bars at all - And they actually have a great texture as well - Crunchy.

I am addicted to Built Protein bars right now. They are chewy and taste like a candy bar to me, but with 17 G protein. They can be high in kcals depending on flavors, so I usually use before or after a heavy workout, or to replace a meal. I love having a protein bar that is not gritty 😋

Right? LOL, I ordered it a couple of times and it's yummy but I just couldn't justify that cost. 😀

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
