It's going pretty good. I don't even crave as much sugar as I did before. Probably because I knew how much it had news me up in the past! Good luck as well!

Hello, I had the sleeve in 2014 and lost 60 pounds. I have a HORRIBLE SUGAR ADDICTION and was diagnosed with diabetes at 26. To help with my diabetes I got the sleeve which I thought initially would work but ended up failing. In my opinion the sleeve is mainly for ppl who over eat but it doesn't help with cravings. I gained 30 pounds of the 60 I lost and went to get resleeved a couple of months ago. Try your best to fight the craving because u will notice that just about all desserts will fit in your little pouch.

Weight gaining after sleeve?
Joy889 replied to XmeghannstarX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's fairly easy to gain, you can always eat slider foods that don't really get you full but just taste so darn good. It really hard if you are addicted to sweets...just about everything will fit in your stomach without you getting too full Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App -
My doctor told me that my pre op diet must only consist of meat, cheese, and veggies only. As I look through the forums I see that a lot of people did the liquid diet. Has anyone else experienced a pre op food diet?

Possible restart of diabetes meds
Joy889 replied to gobsmacked's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey @gobsmacked... I too am diabetic.. my doctor lowered my amount of insulin to take after surgery and a few pounds of weightloss... some days my sugar is still higher than normal... I just have to remember that this is not 100% sure cure of diabetes. .. and the people I know of who had the surgery and the diabetes were cured, they lost 100+ pounds and I'd in their normal bmi -
Omg this is EXACTLY how I feel ... half of me is elated about having this surgery (4 weeks out) the other half of me is sad maybe even depressed because I lost my best friend which is food. .. the surgery helps work the amount you eat but not with the cravings at all. ..

@@Jersrose43 thank you I feel much better now it took about a day and all I had was water all day yesterday but today I feel like my normal self I think it was because I had too much crushed pineapple and apple sauce the other day it was probably way too much sugar for my body to handle
