Sweets ever again?

Some folks choose not to. I'd advise you to refrain until you are healed as at least for me, sugar too soon was NOT a fun experience! They say sleeves don't dump, but for the first 6 months if I over did it on sugar or fat, I'd dump. Today, I have a bit of something sweet almost every day. I work it into my day making sure I have my nutrition covered and a left over calories to absorb it without going over. Most of the time it's something like a Skinny Cow ice cream bar. I love individually packaged treats as they are safer for me. Occasionally, it's a cupcake, but even today, there is a price for the cupcake. The last one I indulged in required a nap a couple of hours later. I was just wiped out! I feel the consequences of my diet more these days, which is good. It keeps me on track the majority of the time!

Sleeves can and do dump! I am glad I am one of the small percentage that do or I'd really be in trouble!

In my preop classes that is wat our nurse instructor kept emphasising. .it's not your last time! I believe this may be a issue where surgeons are or may have different views..per my surgeon dietician I can have have 10 grms per serving or less at one time. I have been reading labels for yrs anyway so no problem to make sure. But I have also for yrs use stevia an got away from sugary items. I wouldn't worry about this right now. Concentrate on getting tummy healed. My internists told me that it could take up to 6 months to heal totally inside. So I still don't even pick big things up. I'm 9 wks out..I do like the WW fudge pops, the WW red velvet tiny bite size sandwich . Its just enuff to satisy! Talk to your surgeon at your next follow up. Follow ur protocol. .

Sweets are my downfall and got me into this so I so I am going to have to pass them by. I'm hoping I will be lucky and dislike them or have problems digesting them. I wish there was no such thing as sugar.

I am a sweet kinda guy too (and bourbon), but I hope that my tastes have changed. I am a few days out from surgery and can barely stand the sweetness of Protein shakes. I am also glad I gave up booze too. I am going to get thin and healthy, ain't no way in hell I am going back. too many sacrifices already made.

Just have a question for all of you veteran sleevers! I was sleeved 10 days ago and was wondering if I will ever be able to have something sweet again ... Like a taste of a cookie... Cupcake ... Or anything else. ? I know these foods will never be part if my daily diet anymore but I have heard conflicting reports that we can never have sugar again... That the sleeve will not tolerate it... That we will throw up . True? Just curious ?

I'm 5 weeks out and sugar doesn't make me sick in the least. But surprisngly, I find that I don't really want it or miss it so I'm like, meh. LOL!

My surgeon says sweets will cause dumping. So I am going with that. Not saying I won't sneak in a Hershey kiss later down the road. Lol
