We all get it. Sugar is a drug and so addictive. But so are many other things. We have to get used to staying away from those things that "call" us and are just not worth it. Sugar is one of those things. You deserve better!!!!!!!! We had our stomachs cut in half (actually 3/4 is gone) and that is drastic. We committed to this lifestyle change. It was "easy" when we didn't want the "bad" stuff. Now the true fight begins!!!! For me it's not sugar - it's salt. I used to be a sugar addict. Seriously. 80% of my 397 pounds was sugar. Since the surgery I have not indulged in much sugar at all. I do eat Peanut Butter Protein Bars - and that has been a tasey treat - Peanut Butter and chocolate. I have had 3 in one day when I've really had cravings - but generally only 1 per day. I had three Cookies over Christmas. They were good - but again - not worth it to me. The other night I went out to a nice restaurant and we ordered desert. Had a few bites and that was it. Just not as good as I remember. The surgery has given me a chance to think before I indulge - and it sounds like that is right were you are at - craving and resisting. You can do it! You can! Keep reaching out and talking about your cravings. Get busy and start living. The cravings will pass. Live like you are "normal" - like normal thin people live - thinking about all the other things you can be doing other than eating. Get active. Pray. Bless other's. Treat yourself well.

Thanks for sharing. I'm behind you all the way!!!!!

I'm a sugar addict too and the only way I can deal with it is to completely avoid the evil stuff. I don't even use artificial sweeteners. But I have been very lucky that after my sleeve, I found it is just too sweet. So sweet just the smell really turns me off. So I'm not going back there because I'm afraid one bite of a sugary processed snack will have me wanting more. I try to avoid processed/refined foods altogether.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
