Still Eating Sweets After a Gastric Sleeve I Thought They Took the Chemical out of Your Stomach?

The chemical you are referring to  is  the Ghrelin  hormone (secreted when the stomach is empty  and signals  your brain to create hunger), although  most of the capacity to produce this hormone is stopped with the sleeve,  it’s just one of many mechanisms we have  to generate hunger.  Eating sweets has several negative effects  including  a spike in insulin  that can  affect  craving for more sweets. You need to  stop all carbohydrates and go on a Keto-diet or Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction for at least a couple of months  to break the cycle  you're in right now, otherwise it will be very hard  to manage. You need to contact  your nutritionist and get started with the plan. You are not in this alone, talk to the Nutritionist associated with your bariatric surgeon for follow up Very important to get ahead of this and start eating healthy.

Hi, the gastric sleeve reduces the stomach size (therefore limiting meal portion size) and reduces hunger-hormone production. However, there are always ways of consuming excess calories depending on what you consume. Furthermore, surgery is only one aspect of weight loss solution. There are other lifestyle factors that need to be addressed also. This holistic approach helps to create the best outcome.
