TheYapper 22 Posted June 9, 2016 I did. Mine was moved from July 21 to June 20. I had mentally prepared for the latter date and was offered to move the date up and a jumped at it. Then thought : oh my, no Father's Day brats and cheeseburgers. I then realized why I'm in my situation. My first thought was food, not how much healthier I would be. Still lots of battles ahead, but we're on our way. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Yeah, it's amazing how quick taste changes giving up sugar. I gave it up for a couple of months about a year ago and after the withdrawal and Craving stopped I was amazed at how much better I felt and how much more flavoursome everything was. Things I didn't think we're that sweet originally tasted sickly sweet. Unfortunately I let it creep back in and was soon back to my old sugary ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have cut out sugar a few times and then slipped back into the sugar craving slopes. Which has brought me to gastric bypass surgery. :-) Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
