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.

      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. 🤞
