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:
30 calories
2 g total fat
3 g total carbs
250 IU Vitamin D
500 mg Calcium
40 mg Magnesium

Usually about $6.99 for a 30 disk bag.

Don't know if you have a Schwan's service in your area, but they have a 50 calorie chocolate ice cream on a stick from their Live Smart line.  It's not skimpy and tastes delicious.  Even dh loves them. (Eats 2 at a time.)

I like the peanut butter and chocolate Pure Protein bars. 200 cals. & 20 grams of prot. They satisfy my candy bar craving.
