Do You Crave Sweets???



Recommended Posts

I am almost two weeks post-op. I have been doing really well with Portion Control and choosing good high Protein food, but I am finding I am CRAVING sweets! I have NEVER had this kind of crave before. In fact, I really have never liked anything sweet....no candies, pies, cakes or anything like that at all...not even fruit! So, what is going on with me?

I was talking to my regular doctor today--she has also has a lapband--and she says she craves sweets all the time. My SIL also has a lapband and she craves sweets too...Ughh! I surely hope this is just a passing thing, because I have never had to deal with this before.

So, how about YOU????

Oh! I was given the GREEN light to STOP ALLLLLL my medicines due to my weight loss!!! Yippppeeee!!!!

I "crave" chocolate all the time! I don't think it is my bands fault, just me, my tastes and my hormones.

It is really weird for me...because things that I have never liked before, I am drooling over now! And things I loved before are just not that appealing to me now. It is so strange! Maybe it is hormones for me too!

I'm finding the opposite since banding 7 days ago. Hopefully it sticks!lol

I only drank Water with a flavor enhancer, but now I want it plan.

What I also have noticed my sense of smell has been enhanced too. If chocolate was in the house, I'd smell it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
