TOM cravings

[coralie]

I got my band fitted last saturday and today, out of the blue i feel 'munchie'.
Craving foods, feeling peckish...

It is my time of the month, could this be the reason?

Did you having craving when it was TTOTM before the band?

Craving are usually not due to hunger, but just cravings or feeling munchie. Sadly having a band won't take those feelings away.

Also some of the swelling will be going down so the restriction is less.
This may also cause you to want to munch so just be careful and fill up on drinks and sugar free jelly if you need the sweetness.

Distraction techniques...painting my nails and not at all dreaming of chocolate!

Cockles and mussels...definitely NOT craving those!

...Infact not craving anything today, i have picked up a really horrid tummy bug that is going around. Severe diarrhoea!! I could really do with out it- better today, than last Saturday when i was banded!

Nausea, but no vomiting, thank goodness! Just generally blah.

Could i have sugar free angel delight made up with milk?..To help kick the chocolate craving??

hi coralie, a mug of cadburys highlights helps alot to curb the chocolate cravings x

I don't see why not if its sugar free and milk is ok so I'd say go for it but someone else may say stay clear but I'd definitely try it if it were me lol
