Surgery date was July 17/2017 Lost Almost 65-70 lbs. I have a couple questions! Why do I crave sugar so much to the point where I seem like a person that needs their drugs! I was NOT like this before having surgery! Also can some doctors not make your pouch very small? I feel I can eat wayyyyy more then other sleevers! Also how much water should we drink an hour? Or does it matter? I try to drink as much as I can to meet at least 64 ounces a day! I hear some people say only 4 oz and hr but then I wouldn’t meet my goals bcuz I don’t wake up that early! Please people I’m so scared I feel from eating all the junk I’m stretching my pouch more and more! I talked to the nurse that is with my surgeon and she said I shouldn’t be craving this early! Like what! Did my surgeon do something wrong? I stop myself from eating sometimes bcuz I crave so much bad stuff!!! Could it be stress eating? I know this surgery is just a tool! But I thought I wouldn’t crave! He fixed a hernia at the same if this helps!! I’m ready to just give up on all this! I use to crave burgers and tacos before surgery and that’s why I got so big! But now! All I want is donuts and Twix I’m so lost people! I wish I never had this surgery before! I wish there was no such thing named food

I’m sure a lot of it is head hunger for me! When I’m really hungry I eat! But when I know it’s head hunger I try not to! But still do just to stop thinking of food! They told me before surgery! We are giving you a new stomach but not a new brain! And I always brushed that off like ahh I’ll be okay! But NO! I think i need a new brain too! lol! Thanks for your suggestions l!!

I really wish I can go back to the groups! I just always have work then getting home cooking, cleaning! This surgery is a lot of work!!! I don’t know how people that work can still go to all there appointments!!! So you’re saying that first bite of sugar I took after surgery got it all going? Sounds so true! I just really wish I can fight this!!

I mean I use to hear and there! But maybe I will ask my doctor about that one!!

@Stacy160 How do I stop? I can’t stop! It’s in all day thing! I wasn’t like this before surgery and that’s what is really bothering me!! So you said you got off the sugar...?? How in the world did you do that! I google best donut places around my city and if the reviews are good I go and try them now I understand when I use to tell my mom to quit smoking and she said she can’t!!! How can I stop eating sugar? Cold turkey or slowly?

I will Schedule appointment with the nutritionist asap

How many months out r u? Thank u so much for letting me know I’m normal! Others have cravings too!!

I do hope it is doable! Thank u
