There’s a lot to take in when you are considering Bariatric Surgery. When the doctor starts going over your weight loss options, and what this could mean for your future, it becomes scary to try and wrap this all around your head. Having gone through the process, there’s a lot of things that changed within my body, life, and overall well being. The topics below are all things that I have experienced Pre and Post Bariatric Surgery. Please keep in mind, that there are thousands of other patients who have not experienced what I have, and every body type is different. If you are considering Bariatric Surgery, I highly recommend reading through these posts. But remember, any form of weight loss surgery is just a tool. It is up to you to change the outcome of your life and only you can control your new habits and lifestyle.

Hello! Kate B. here! I had the surgery, gastric sleeve, 1-15-2020, almost at a full year now! To be quite honest, I crave sweets ALL THE TIME, but after so long without actually eating them they don’t bring me the same pleasure as they used to. Every doctor has a different “Code of Conduct” that you must follow, and I’m sure that sugary things are not often found on many of them. It’s because of the dumping. No, not dumping out your bottom, but getting sick after eating too much sugar… at least that’s what I experienced. I tried to indulge myself at around 6 months post op and it ended in a heaping mess. Follow your doctors rules. Listen to your body. STOP EATING WHEN YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE… Not when you’re full.

I am having sleeve surgery in January. I don’t drink soda and very rarely drink beer so it won’t be hard giving it up. But do you still get cravings for sweet items or desserts? I am in the process of giving up the extra sugar and am afraid that I will get those cravings for a bite of pastry

Yes, I still get those cravings!! I actually can not eat sugar without the feeling of being addicted to it. So to be honest, I now do not eat sugar until the end of the day! This way I sleep off the Cravings!

I’m not worried about soda and beer as much, don’t really enjoy beer and gave up frequent soda years ago… but I do like fizzy water. :/
