I have been having awful chocolate cravings that are almost impossible for me to ignore. I had never had these before my surgery and in fact I rarely craved chocolate and wasn't much for sweets in general. Now, it seems I can't get enough of chocolate or sweets! It's driving me crazy and I'm having trouble controlling it. Could this be a cross addiction? I know...sounds wierd...but I don't know what else to think. How do I get some control of this?

    I have been having the same problem! Trying to get my choco cravings filled by using a chocolate calcium citrate wafer "medallion" called "Healthy Indulgence" that I get at The Vitamin Shoppe. Each one is 35 cals and 500 mg of calcium citrate.

    Well, I've found that taking a magnesium supplement has helped tremendously. I no longer get the awful "have to have it" cravings and can pass it up most of the time. Thank goodness!

    Thank you for the tip because I'm having the exact same issue!! I can't seem to get enough chocolate and constantly fight myself. I initially noticed around Halloween, and it's been a battle ever since. Even yesterday I told my husband he had to buy me a candy bar...thank you, I'm off to the store now to get that supplement!
