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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
