VSG: A cure for this Chocaholic!

[serious 2]

Hi all,

Was in Whole Foods this am getting Vitamins. Went to get coffee at the coffee stand, they had bits of this new organic, dark chocolate out as samples.

I took one small piece and proceeded to checkout. Boy, was it sickenly sweet! I was suprised because this is dark chocolate, which I used to find not sweet enough pre VSG.

I have finally cured my sweet tooth which was my downfall with every diet and the lapband. I'm so happy. I am also down 30# since surgery, and back in my medium scrubs!:biggrin:

Congratulations on your success! I'm enjoying the fact that I am never hungry.

Wow! congrats!!!! Although this kinda scares me - I absolutely HATE chocolate - does that mean I might like it after having the sleeve? haha :thumbup:

Anybody know what % of people lose their love for chocolate post-op (I hope to be one... ?

Do all VSGers get their normal appetite back at 1.5 to 3 years?

I have not lost my love of chocolate and enjoyed some diet hot choc. today. As for a return of a normal appetite, I don't know if that is possible with the majority of the stomach gone.

Not "your" normal appetite, as in what you had pre-op, but a really normal appetite. Like thin people have.

When it comes back really varies though. I think mine is close to normal now, in fact. It probably really isn't though. It's just that I heard all these stories about how "I'm 18 months out and I never feel hungry" and that hasn't been my experience. I do get hungry when it's been a while since I ate and/or I've exercised intensely, but there isn't a lot of force behind it and it's easy to get busy and forget to eat.

OMG -- HATE chocolate? I could only WISH to hate chocolate -- although I can pass milk chocolate by no problem, put good dark chocolate in front of me and I'm a goner ... hope I lose the taste for it after surgery.
