Sugar detox after Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried the 10-day detox diet, the blood sugar solution by Dr. Mark Hyman? I am definitely addicted to sugar even after having gastric sleeve surgery (1 1/2yrs ago). I want to try this 10 day detox (no sugar, caffeine, dairy, grains) but want to make sure it's safe for me. It recommends taking some supplements- not sure about them as a person with the sleeve. Any thoughts or experiences?

Wow, that sounds rough!!! I am a former sugar addict myself. I didn't do anything structured when I got off the sugar. I just stopped. It's rough at first, but the freedom is wonderful! I would just run everything by your doctor and make sure it is safe, and then do whatever feels right for you. I hope you have good results; I know how miserable sugar addiction made me feel. All the best!

I think I have a real sugar addiction because when I refuse sweets for at least a day, I feel a sharp desire. So if the desire for sugar can be compared to drug or alcohol addiction, then you can fight it with the same necessary measures. There are various detox programs for this kind of addiction, approved by doctors and successfully tested by many people. The key point in the elimination of addiction is the psychological recognition of the problem and your own independent desire to fight it. I am impressed by your success in living without sugar and I hope to achieve the same success in a short time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
