I am just shy of 1 year post surgery. I do not get dumping syndrome and sugar very seldom makes me sick. I feel I am backsliding a bit. I haven't gained any weight but I still have about 20 to lose. I work out regularly and eat healthy right up to 4 p.m. Salty and savory have always been an easy fix in the snack world but the sweet is a little harder. I am craving candy and I just don't think I can do one more protein drink to satisfy that craving. Also, does anyone have any good ideas for a night time snack. I am kind of a night owl and about 5 hours out from dinner I need something. Any help would be appreciated.

Try quest bar, chocolate brownie, microwave it for about 10 second so it's soft and warm. delicious! And they're 20 grams of protein and no sugar.

Peanut Butter - Sweet but not too much.

How about greek yogurt? Sweet, creamy and lots of protein. I often add a scoop of unflavored protein to it even. And sometimes add fruit and sprinkle with grape nuts for a little crunch.

sugar free popsicles hit the spot for me

Water with flavored stevia has helped me. There are several yummy flavors. You get water plus a sweet fix!

I absolutely love Reese's peanut butter cups and know that after my surgery I won't be able to eat them. HOWEVER, I found a website that sells all kinds of foods (that are rated by customers), mini-tab vitamins, protein powder, etc. It is called www.iherb.com. They have a peanut butter powder that you can mix into some greek yogurt with some chocolate protein powder for your own special Reese's peanut butter cup experience. I haven't tried it yet (waiting until post-surgery) but I'm hoping it does the trick.

I agree that the food can get rather boring. I hope you find something to satisfy those late night cravings!

Twarden, Quest makes a peanut butter cup.

Kc1986, I like cashews. I work overnight, and I keep a can at work and munch on those. If you eat or drink alot of fake sugars, that can can make you crave sugars more. I also eat quest bars to cover sweet cravings. White choc rasberry is really good.

Have you tried some sugar free jello? A good one is to get two boxes (they are smaller than regular it seems) of orange sugar free jello after dissolving (spelling is wrong but too early to think) and adding the cool water, add a can of manderine oranges (drained) to it and chill. If you want something more substancial add some banana slices to it too. debby
