Any other sugar addicts out there?

I am 100% convinced that I have an addiction to refined/processed sugars.  I am also confidant that not using any for month before surgery has made the initial transitions these first few days pretty easy.

Anyone else?

Anne

Yup.  I have a sugar addiction.  I wish I could just have a bite or two and be satisfied, but I can't.  It makes me a raving lunatic scrounging around for my next fix.  I'm not exaggerating. 

Oh...I understand!  I am terrified to try anything other than mayo and a rare piece of flat bread.  Do you eat any carbs at all?

Anne

I can't eat bread.  I tried it once or twice since surgery, and it sits like a ton of bricks in my stomach.  It's not worth it at all.  In general, the carbs I consume are from vegetables, occasionally low-fat/non-fat dairy, avocado, salsa.  I keep my carbs very low; it's the only way I've managed to keep my weight loss pretty steady for the last almost nine months and be satisfied.

I am a sugar addict to the 10th POWER!!!!  It makes me wanna cry sometimes!!!!

I try my best to keep it under wraps with my transfer addiction: Iced Coffee, yum!

You're my twin coffee sister!  I have an iced coffee addiction.  My hubs makes fun of the amount of Starbucks or ice brewed coffees (if I can it) that I spend money on.  It's my treat!

Yes, without a doubt.  I would take it a little farther and say that I have a "sweet taste" addiction.  This include artificial sweetners along with sugar.  I did a great job of no sugar in the first few months post-op, but allowed it back in after that.  What a mistake.  I had gone long enough that I did not crave it, but now deal with the sugar demon daily.  Overall I manage it well, but looking back I wish I would have left well-enough alone.  I enjoy my carbs, but can manage those a whole lot better in general than sugar.  

I hear you on the whole sweet thing.  Until my surgery the only "sweetner" I used was in the protein shacks I was trying out.  Now, I can't stand to drink plain water (tastes like...something I can't say here!) so I have been using poweraide zero and mio drops.  So I went from nearly no sugar or sugar substitute to sugar substitutes all day long. damn.
