Do You Crave Sweets???



Recommended Posts

I am almost two weeks post-op. I have been doing really well with Portion Control and choosing good high Protein food, but I am finding I am CRAVING sweets! I have NEVER had this kind of crave before. In fact, I really have never liked anything sweet....no candies, pies, cakes or anything like that at all...not even fruit! So, what is going on with me?

I was talking to my regular doctor today--she has also has a lapband--and she says she craves sweets all the time. My SIL also has a lapband and she craves sweets too...Ughh! I surely hope this is just a passing thing, because I have never had to deal with this before.

So, how about YOU????

Oh! I was given the GREEN light to STOP ALLLLLL my medicines due to my weight loss!!! Yippppeeee!!!!

I "crave" chocolate all the time! I don't think it is my bands fault, just me, my tastes and my hormones.

It is really weird for me...because things that I have never liked before, I am drooling over now! And things I loved before are just not that appealing to me now. It is so strange! Maybe it is hormones for me too!

I'm finding the opposite since banding 7 days ago. Hopefully it sticks!lol

I only drank Water with a flavor enhancer, but now I want it plan.

What I also have noticed my sense of smell has been enhanced too. If chocolate was in the house, I'd smell it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
