Quiestion!!!

How did/do you guys deal with saying no to yourself in the beginning?  I am not craving anything in particular...Just curious as to how you dealt with the urge to snack!!!


I want to do my very best with this...so many of you have done so well!!!  What were some of your tricks if you can call it that!

Candace I am new to this but when I want to snack a SF popcicle is my best friend.  It takes away the urge especially for something sweet.

I'm loving the SF popsicles..Only the Crystal light ones though!!!!!

LOL!!  I turned my urge into urges for things that would still work for me.  Sweet stuff?  Cream cheese w/ vanilla and/or almond extract and splenda.  Gave me the cheesecake feel w/o the carb crust, plus it's a soft solid so I could lick spoons and spoons of it......

Peanut butter crackers..... when I HAD to have a carb... the peanut butter would at least give me SOME protein......

Protein bars...... tried TONS until I found the ones I now LOVE by Twisted - the pretzel part and the nougat are like candy bars to me.

I also became a cheese hound.  Found one of those fancy cheese bars in the store and chatted up the cheese expert - so I have different cheeses I snack on, and make a plate of different ones with grapes and spam.... don't laugh!!!!  It's high protein and tasty........

so those are my tips! 

The cheese cake taste OOHH my GAWD!!! I love cheesecake have to try that one.  Thanks

I know, right???  LOL

Let the cream cheese soften up really well - then just put it in a bowl and put the splenda and flavorings in to your taste.  when you're done - put it in the bowl or whatever of your choice and rechill it.  Man-o-MAN!!!!!

Please don't come back posting about how you were in your draws at 3am standing in front of your fridge eating this stuff and it's my fault tho!!!!  LMAO!!!

I take NO repsonsiblity!!!!  

GURL you already know.  You done gone an messed me up.  It's going down !!!! I just got happy as HE**.  I am doing my happy dance finally something MOFO (as you say) normal.  I struggle to figure out what I can eat at this stage that is tasty.

The cream cheese idea sounds good.....I love cheese just got some more today!!!

spam huh lol

I was more diligient  in the beginning about it and would put timers on things I wanted well in 10 minutes I'll get blah blah then in 20 minutes I'll ge tit and so on. Now, I'll just get a bite of somethin g OR say when I finished this last bottle of water I'll get whatever.... At this point for you its all mentla read a book, do a puzzle, go for a walk you can do it.

Hey Candace..This might seem odd but my sleep study nurse told me about a guy that drank a mlikshake right after surgery and I guess it busted his incision and he died..Mind you my nurse had RNY..It scared me so much that if I think about eating something I think about the story and get scared..Right now I want a pickle sooo bad and no I am not pregnant..lol..I figure that one day I will be able to taste a pickle but not right now..
