Craving Sugar..WTF!?

[Mighty Mo 6]

Hello to my fellow sleevers, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing what I've been for the past two months. I was sleeved May 20th at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC and for the past two months, I've been CRAVINGGG sugar which is so unlike me because I was more of a steak, potato and cheese kind of girl. Is anyone else going through this?

Yes. I have been craving sugar. I've also started to get the shakes and feel physically ill if I'm hungry. I don't know if they are connected or not.

I am always in need of salt since I was sleeved..lots of salt....don't know why...I detoxed from everything in the hospital...But the only time I want something sweet is when I am worn out and exhausted....Protein would be a better choice..Sweets is a quick fix.....

When you get the shakes most likely it is your blood sugar plummeting... Protein and piece of cheese something small will work far better then sugar...Sugar is a quick fix but it plummets and you shake even more...protein, Protein, protein....k

I used to get this! My hands would start shaking and I felt like I was going to pass out if I didn't eat something quick!

About a year before surgery I cut out all sugars (real and fake) because of food addiction issues but low and behold the weakness and shakes went away... Now of course right after surgery it's hard to avoid some fake sugar. But its a good thing to wean back off when you get further out.

I. Know easier said than done

This is so me! I have never had a sweet tooth. Since surgery, I'm craving sweets like crazy! Even cave on occasion and have some bad for me sugary treats. I'm hoping it's just a phase cause these sugary treats are sliders for sure : (

For me the more sugar I eat the more I want it..

So I really try and stay away...

I didn't say I was indulging in the sugar but I have been craving it lately I eat 80-100 g of protein a day.

Sorry I was not attacking you..This is a real symptom of a condition call Anorexia. I was just concerned that you might be one of the ones who suffer from this...I just mentioned it.....putting it out there sorta.... :wub:

No worries. I do get shaky at times and I eat or drink and it goes away. I average about 1000-1200 calories a day.

With me its been salty stuff. I want to crunch down on some salty fries or chips so bad. I'm 5 weeks out. I did give in and had a little green olive earlier. It tasted really good which nothing tastes good anymore and it didn't make my new tummy hurt so that's good.

I'm NOT craving sugar...as a matter of fact anything sweet just takes too sweet...may be good but idk

Thank you for your replies ladies, I thought I was the only one. I'm not gonna lie, I've been having Hershey miniatures here and there, higher salt intake, low Protein and caloric intake so of course I've been stalling for quite some time now also. My SW was 271 and my CW hovers between 206-210 since my surgery May 20th. I need to get it together and get back on track cause I didn't put my body through all of this trauma to stall or gain. Best of luck to ALL of us:)
