I own 2 donut shops and...
The only time i have EVER craved a donut is when i was pregnant.... Until now! I never want anything until someone says no you cant have that!! I tell you what i have did everything to keep myself busy in here that i have ran out of cleaning! I even repainted the whole shop lol I am pretty positive i have the cleanest donut shop in the world of donut shops lol What in the hell was i thinking!! I need a new business hahahaha
That is torture. I LOVE the smell of donuts. Funny, I don't think they taste that good. I'd rather have cheesecake if you're going to offer me something that's terrible for me, heh! They do smell divine, though. Thankfully I know what a doughy, fluffy piece of food is going to do to my insides, so I have NO desire whatsoever to even think about it!

Oh my - that has got to be something else surrounded by all that fatty/sugary goodness with all the great baking smells.
Fortunately for me, since my sleeve, I've not had any cravings other than the couple of times my tastebuds told me it was time to add some new foods to the routine. Since I've been eating so differently the past 11 weeks, the thought of greasy foods kind of turns my stomach too.
Instead of changing businesses, find a way to make yummy no fat sugar free donuts that are low in calories, sugar, fat, and carbs. You'll be a billionaire in no time!

Near the top of my gratitude list is the fact that I don't have to make my living in the food industry. OMG, I would die. Sweet and greasy is my all-time most addictive combo, and I could eat a dozen donuts at a time if I put my mind to it. I have no words of encouragement - I would be out of the shop already, wildly flailing my arms and running for my life!
I also love donuts, cookies and pastries. I have a terrible sweet tooth sometimes that still gets to me. This is going to sound dumb but I swear it works for me....when I get a sweet craving, one that keeps calling me and calling me I go to the frig and get a Clausen dill pickle spear. I eat one spear and the craving for sweets dissapears. I don't know if its the vinigar in the pickle or the spice or what but I totally lose my sugar craving immediately. Of course if you are early in your surgery you can't have a pickle but you could sip a teaspoon of the juice! I have a granddaughter that can eat a whole jar of pickles and then drink the whole jar of remaining juice. She never eats or craves sweets...she has been doing this for years since she was about 8 and she is 24 now...

Funny my granddaughter does the same thing. Might sound weird but I get some sliced hamburger pickles and put a little peanut butter on them. That helps my cravings, instead of sweets of anykind.
