About 5 weeks out...sugar makes me feel like I'm going to die!



Recommended Posts

Okay, I've done super terrific on my post and pre op diet. I'm down nearly 45 lbs! Today at work in our cafe they had these brownie/peanut butter/cookie things.

Now mind you they were "gluten free".

I had a terrible dessert craving/addiction pre surgery. My husband and I were dessert connoisseurs and I loved to bake. It was lunch time and I was hungry so I went for it.

I cut off a sliver, about the size of a half dollar at lunch and was fine. I boxed the rest up and meant to give the rest to my husband later that night. Turns out he had to stay out of town one more night and I found myself alone, hungry, tired and unprepared for dinner.

Anyway, I got into the brownie cookie and one thing led to another and I found myself with an empty wrapper and terrible feeling afterward.

I got dizzy, my heart was beating oddly and then I became terribly nauseated and eventually threw up and sick to my stomach.

Well, let's just say it was a hard lesson learned and I'm in bed now but I have a question. Why did this happen?

Is it because I've restricted myself from sugar for so long?

Maybe a carb overload. I suggest maybe cutting way back...carbs are NOT our friends! Also, ask your NUT about this. Good luck to you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
