Sugar Addiction

Hi All

Did anyone who has had the sleeve struggle with sugar addiction before surgery? (Chocolate, ice cream, candy etc)

If so- how did you manage post surgery? Did your cravings come back? Were you successful with the sleeve?

I ask because I'm reading more things recently that the sleeve is good for folks who have trouble with portion control but not so much for those who have a sweet tooth.

Any experiences would help.

Also- I am aware that it's important to try and work on eating behaviors/emotional eating pre surgery and after- I'm just curious on the experience people have had. Does the sugar cravings/desire ever go away after time? Anyone successful kicking sweets for food post surgery?

Thanks!

My pcp dr gave me a book called the 10 day sugar detox diet to battle sugar addiction.

Hey, where I can find this book? Does it helped you? I would like to read it too 'cause I really cannot stop eating sweets and I really need a detox. You know I think that chocolates are making a real addiction. It is the same as drugs or alcohol. I'm really afraid of my health. I even started to look for some clinics that can provide some sugar detox but the only think that I found is this site https://www.lifeline.org.uk/heroin-addiction/ they are working with drug addictors but I guess that for me, my heroin are sweets lol. Do you think that they can give me some advices?
