I want chocolate!!!

[brwneyedbeauty]

I am on my liquid diet and I want CHOCOLATE so damn bad right now and yes I have had chocolate protein shakes. I could just scream. Tell me this goes away. Can I do this? I just want to eat!

HELP!:Cry:

Be strong! You can resist! I'm sure chocolate is part of the reason WHY you want the lap band in the first place! I know it was for me!

Yes it all goes away, but it will rear it's ugly head again at some point. For me it was bread. I loved bread, I still do. Now I know what it does to me and now I can only enjoy the smell. Just make sure you do not have any chocolate in your house and put it in the toilet! If you put it anywhere else, you might go back and get it!

That's some good advice! lol

Try the protein shakes in different forms. Heat them up for "hot chocolate" and freeze them for chocolate ice cream. I have heard that the atkins shakes freeze nicely.

I keep sugar free jello pudding in my fridge for this very occasion. I also keep sugar free cool whip. It satisfies me everytime. Try it! It's goooooooood.

Thanks thats a great idea but I will have to wait long after surgery to do that.....

you will do fine. you will find, if you try other sweet natural things, that your tastes change. we are so used to eating soooo much sugar cause it is in everything preprocessed that we eat every day. I hear about people who add lots of packets of splenda to their protein shakes cause it is not sweet enough, and I cringe. You will never change your tastes or break the habit by continuing to nurse the sweet tooth. I LOVE chocolate. But I have not had any in a VERY long time. I had a small bite about a month ago and it was so sweet tasting i thought something was wrong with it and spit it out. LOL never thought I would do that.

Just focus on your goals. Put goal pics up on the fridge and the pantry door. And carry one in your wallet. When you crave chocolate take a look and those and ask yourself which is more important. The 15 second of chocolate pleasure, or the lifetime of looking sexy.
