Sugar?

[Sflinger 1]

Does anyone else have issues kicking the sweets? 1 year post op and the cravings for sweets are awful?

It's been the toughest thing for me. Especially chocolate. The big 3 for me were chips, sodas and chocolate. Well chips and sodas are kicked no problem. Chocolate is still killing me. I often wonder if it's because I drink chocolate Protein shakes.....like that continued enjoyment of chocolate keeps the desire alive.

I'm only a lil over 2 months out but sugar is not something I tolerate all that well anymore...too much makes me nauseated, but give me something salty and OMG! And this is a total reversal from before surgery

Yeah it's so hard. All sweets are taking over. I feel like I need to do a sugar detox.

Try candida , sugar builds up a yeast in your blood stream that keeps cravings alive! Candida is a great way to help eliminate the sweet cravings and it cleanses you! Good stuff!!

Sorry kind of new to this thing so I'm not sure how to copy and reply. I wish it were salty over sweet. Crazy what our bodies do to us

I used it when my trainer told me to, before surgery! It is at supper sups or gnc! It really healthy and good, she told me it really works good after the holidays, it gets rid of carb cravings too! It's a hot item! Good luck hope it works for you;)

I recently read the book Wheatbelly by Dr. William Davis. He says that wheat is the root of all evil! He claims that there is something in wheat called Gliadin which affects our brain (!) causing us to crave and eat more simple carbs. (In a nutshell). He says that the wheat we eat today bears little resemblance to the wheat of thousands or even hundreds of years ago. People who go off wheat lose their cravings.

I have a sleeved friend who has been wheat free since her surgery and she has no cravings whatsoever. I would like to go wheat free but am having trouble getting there....Meanwhile I've been using spelt flour but that's also a problem.
