desserts cravings

i have thesee cravinhgs that take me over sometimes mainly it is for my favorite mexican foods or sweets. after surgery does anyone get to go back to eating some tthings you used to could enjoy and will i ever be able to have sweets or desserts again

I've had my sweets in the form of sugar free chocolate from Hershey's, Reses, and Russell Stover - all fantastic. I allow myself 1 a day! mgm

If you eat too many of these (even preop), they can sure cure any constipation problems you may have!! Joy

then maybe I should have a few more

I have been eating 2 things Mexican: Beans/cheese/salsa (great protein) - I buy the Fat free refried beans Beef, bean, or cheese enchiladas when eating out. I order one a la carte and eat the insides. I named my pouch Pepe. He seems to like Mexican food. Just try to avoid fat as much as possible. Sugared deserts are not on my horizon, but there are some great recipes for sugar free deserts made with splenda. We need to all start posting recipes. On the December 2003 board someone has been posting recipe of the day (ROD) and they look great! Joy -32 lbs

I posted this above but am putting it here for you. 1 Box sugar free strawberry jello 1 box sugar free vanilla pudding - cook and serve - NOT INSTANT 2-4 cups of strawberries, sliced. I had a little splenda to them. 2 cups water Put cold water in pot and add pudding stir well and heat to almost boiling. Remove from heat, add jello, stir well to dissolve. Pour over strawberries. These can be in small dessert cups or a pie pan. Put in fridge to set. This has less than 20 cal. per serving and helps with cravings for sweets.

Rhonda, The only thing that keeps me going is no suger added vanilla ice cream. Lynn

Something that I do, is to take a tub of cool whip (I use regular, but you can use anything) and fold a box of dry pudding mix in with it. Then I add some chopped up SF chocolate to it. Put it in a dish with some nuts sprinkled on it it. It is DELICIOUS!!!! -Naomi 380/335/150

They are putting out a lot of carb smart products. I buy them whenver I see them. They have carb smart ice cream and ice cream bars that are good. Look around you can find desserts in them. They have cake mixes and frostings and candy bars, I don't buy all that but they have dressing and are coming out with condements. Just remember that phrase CARB_SMART

I bought some sugar free peanut butter cups last night and had one this morning and MANN ARE THEY GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!! Shannon The Irish Lassie aka Irisha Angel Diva
