Sugar Not What It Cracked Up To Be!



Recommended Posts

Hey family, so today they came in today at work and they had cupcakes from this place called Sweet Mandy B's. And I have not had any sweets since my surgery in August. Well I decide to have one and before I can lick all the icing off my fingers I start to cough and and gag, well the cupcake did not stay down and one I feel like crap. I have not really thought about sugar or sweets but I thought I would give it a try. Well let's just say it is a lesson learned.

I was sorely tempted this a.m. by a Starbucks gingerbread loaf. And I gave in. Sadly, it did not make me sick (well maybe sick at heart when I saw the calories and forced myself to put in MFP).

Wow that seems like that will be a challenge but you will be able to handle it. I think I wanted to see if anything would happen if I ate it and now I know. I have just been testing the waters today because I had a piece of chicken fried and drank a couple if sips of Sprite pop. Well it's all making me feel sick but not coming back up but boy do I wish it would to make me feel better. I now know what I can have and the affects if I have stuff I know is not good for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
