Sweet tooth - what is wrong?????



Recommended Posts

I was banded last week - 1/10/08 - and I am doing great - pain is not too bad - feels like when I had my daughter cesarean. Mushies aren't too bad - have had Soups, jello's, Protein Shakes, oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt. my thing that is killing me is that my sweet tooth is going nuts.... is that possible? I am not hungry but I really want something sweet.... is this normal - or is there anything out there any of you can suggest? I am going to make some pudding with protien powder later.... maybe that will help.

Thanks for your help!

I have about a week long sweet-tooth response only after taking narcotics. If you took them for pain, maybe that added to it. I love the fat free pudding for a fix, or ff yougurt with a scoop of Unjury unflavored Protein in it. It makes it creamy, delicious and adds 20 grams of protein!

I was just shopping on bariatriceating.com & noticed they have "sweet" stuff that is safe for post bariatric surgery. I know this is just for after you can eat non liquid again, but its something to keep in mind for later.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
