9yrs post-op RNY, 7 wks BOB - Craving sweets (cross post)
9 years ago Monday I had my Gastric Bypass and 7 weeks ago I was Banded (BOB). I am down like 30lbs and feel restriction again for the 1st time in 3-4yrs. I still have a ways to go [305 in 2002, 175 in 2003, 246 before BOB and now 220ish] but I am loving love again. I get my 2nd fill on Monday and hoping it helps kick my plateau. I just started exercising again (i.e. doing more than walking as I walk a ton anyway living in Manhattan). But, let me tell you something…I AM CRAVING SWEETS. All I do is eat protein, salads, veggiess, more protein. No shakes (yuck). I am getting 80+ g of protein a day and I am happy to report, my hair never looked better. But, I need something sweet. I think something small, delicious, an amuse bush (as they would say on Top Chef) that is about 100-200 calories.
Any recommendations?
I’m also craving some Naan bread but I don’t even DARE.

Heather,
Go get you them little skinny cow ice cream things they have in the store, or go get you a small candy bar and enjoy it , or go to McDonald's and get you a child's ice cream cone. When my family wants cones I just get the kiddie size or take a few bites of hubby's .
I went and bought me some Skinny cow Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches 150 calories.
Dont know if they are good or not I haven't had one yet lol I keep forgetting they are in the freezer. lol.

They are a little pricey, but Adora calcium chocolate disks are awesome! They have milk chocolate and dark chocolate. It's fun to look forward to that piece of chocolate each day!
1 dark chocolate disk:

Usually about $6.99 for a 30 disk bag.
