Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Chocolate Confession Trader Joe's has finally come to my neck of the woods. I'm originally from California and TJ's is THE BEST grocery store. There are so many things to buy that are actually good for you. I got some great BB Wheat Bran muffins that are only 80 calories each and only 5 g of sugar and they are good to boot!  But I also bought some dark chocolate non pareils (the ones with the little white dots). Believe it or not, they are only 12g of sugar for six pieces; so I reasoned that if I have only 2 or 3 pcs at a time I won't be consuming too much sugar and it worked! I actually had chocolate and it was SO GOOD!!  Its less than 50 calories and it feels so good to have. I don't seem to have any urge to eat too much -- I think my fear of dumping keeps me in check. Dark chocolate is actually good for you as well -- so I can honestly say that I'm enjoying a little guilty pleasure!  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Darn Im jealous. I want a trader Joes near me.  I havent tried any chocolate at all since surgery. I guess I am afraid of dumping. My surgeons office preached the fear of God into us with sweets. But I do confess that just a few days ago while I was eating us out of house and home waiting for TOM to arrive I ate a few of the kids animal crackers. I was so nervous casue they do have some surgar in them and I ate about 10 of them and I was fine. I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Yes Trader Joes Has Some Very Healthy Dark Choc. Dark Choc Or Semi Sweet Choc Is Very Very Very Good For You. Just Read An Article Recently About This. It Was On The Top 10 Foods For Health And Losing Wt. But No Milk Choc Or White Choc. Those Are Not Good. When I Was At Trader Joes I Was Thinking About Getting It But Passed. Enjoy And Just Keep It To A Limit. There Is Nothing Wrong With Dark Choc

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I have to admit, I've tried chocolate. Not dark chocolate though. I've not had a lot and the first piece was actually at Christmas. My husband and I were at the local mall shopping and I put a small piece of Sarris (local Chocolate place here and oh so yummy!) into my mouth. I felt like I was living out that scene from "When Harry Met Sally"..oh holy pete it was good!! My mouth was doing a happy dance! BUT!!! I, too, am afraid of dumping. I've dumped enough and hope I never do it again so that chocolate won't be a fixture in my future!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I just look at all the sugar on the labels. My sister gave us a box of those thin mints, I can have one, it's 6g of sugar, I do that a few times a week, it's dark chocolate too. I have bites here and there, I had a small bite of my husband's Reese cup, it was soooo good, didn't feel guilty, it was a small bite. Yeah, the dumping, don't want to go there. Good for you for keeping yourself in check.
