I've been addicted to sweet things since I have been on soft food. Problem for me is that I am eating high sugar stuff like ice cream and chocolate. It slides down so easy and does not cause any discomfort unlike other foodstuffs.

Thanks for the reply - I must say I thought it would be a lot easier than this! The first two weeks were so painful I couldn't eat anything anyway so I lost tons of weight.

The physical hunger has subsided but it's the damn phycological hunger that is actually the problem and I guess the sleeve does less to solve that.

I had VSG surgery just over 2 weeks ago. As it is uncomfortable to eat semi-solids I find that the easiest things to eat are sweets, chocolate and ice cream. Today I had a small bag of Jelly Beans and a small ice cream bar.

I find everything from soft eggs to cottage cheese is just so uncomfortable to eat, whereas the ice cream/sweets etc. just melt and so taste great (obviously) and do not cause any discomfort whatsoever.

Has anyone else experienced similar - I have lost 17 pounds in two weeks but for the last few days have lost nothing since adding all the sugar to my diet?

I had the surgery to solve a food "addiction" like most people - probably a little worse for me as I also suffer from GAD/OCD, but it just seems far too easy to cheat the system? I have not been give a diet plan as such from my surgeon - he just sort of left it to me.
