Too sweet! !



Recommended Posts

Fir the first couple of months I actually looked forward to taking my chewable vitamins. Something I can chew that was like a sweet little candy snack. Yum! Now I dread them. After over 3 months of no carbs and no sugar the sugary sweetness of the Vitamins is yucky! Never thought I'd think anything sweet was yucky, but there it is. I also put Stevia in just about everything but lately I'm just turned off by all the sweet. It is possible the sleeve cured my sweet tooth? Sweet!

Mine is much much less than it used to be. I loved sweets pre-surgery, but now I like salty stuff. Sweet tooth is not gone completely but is pretty tiny now. Low carb eating has really changed me.

The weird thing is that if I forget and start to plan a meal I still fall back on "Protein, starch, veg." It's hard to shuck a lifetime of carbs that are ingrained in you, even when you don't really crave them any more.

The sleeve for sure got rid of my sweet tooth! I'm grossed out by sweet things now, and I used to be a total sugar addict. It happened immediately after surgery, and 3 months later, it's even more so. All i crave is Protein.< /p>

      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.
