Sweet cravings are UNCONTROLABLE!HELP

I am now 1 year 3 mths post op..and have lost 157 lbs.I feel absolutely MARVELOUS!! I have new pics will post today...but i have one problem trying to drop these final lbs..I cant contol my urge to eat sweets..OMG! its like it came from no where 2 weekends ago and will not pass.I did notice @ my suri-versary I had the cravings before my period and they would subside.But its not time and I'm affraid of gaining weight.I have increased my workouts and I have started to drink my protien shakes again to help get me back on track..if you have any rememdies or have exp similar cravings .Help a sista out.

I have sweet cravings and have had several good ideas suggested to me. 1. Protein shakes in and of themselves are sweet and can be prepared with ice like milkshakes 2. Sugar Free candy will help although you still have to watch the calories. 3. Sugar free pudding is pretty good because it has the calcuim of milk and can be made with skim milk or 1% fat milk. 4. You could by a bag of hershey's minatures chocolates (if you are craving chocolate) and put it in the freezer and allow one a day. Hope these ideas help....

I really appreciate the assistance and its good to know that I am not along.I had to come back and update that since I am getting in more protien and water ..I honestly have little to no sweet cravings..I am taking in Unjury with skim milk..and I boought some fruit in fruit juice for snacks....its what I started with and I now know to stick with what works.....I feel so guiilty when I do eat sweets and my pouch cramps so badly.....thanks again. God Bless!

It's amazing when we get back to basics, my mantra is: vitamins in, water in (64 oz), protein first (100 gm goal), and GET MOVING! that a lot of cravings and the "bad stuff" takes care of itself. I'm glad that the cravings have gone away! Blessings, Carolyn

Hi Brenda, I ditto the above response, I keep sugar free Russell Stover candies around for these occasions. I also believe that some of our old ways are creeping back, keep the faith as we will prevail. Take care God bless, Syndi

have you tried the power crunch bars? I like them in the freezer they are so good and satisfy my sweet cravings and have proto whey protien in them Joni
