Hi - I'm Debbie. I had Lap Band surgery on 2/19/07. I've lost 65-68 lbs. (depends on the day). I haven't lost anything in the past probably 6 weeks. I know it's my own fault because I'm totally not eating right. I must admit I haven't worked too awfully hard to lose what I've lost. What I'm realizing is it is time for me to work w/my band; I can no longer sit back and let it do all the work.

I'm a total sugar addict and just cannot stop it. Yet, I know I'm capable because I had to do a 2 week liquid diet before my surgery where I had no sugar. Any advice to get me back on track and help me kick this sugar addition?

Hi Debbie,
I'll email you later...
Do you like the sugar free jello&pudding. Trying something sweet, but without sugar could help ween you from it.?
I really like the "dessert cups" from healthyweightsupermarket... I think 43 cal.. (always more protein than carbs) but they curb my dessert wants. Not sure if they are sugar free but at least better than some choices.? Thinking of you, p.s. if I can come up with something better I'll let you know.

Debbie welcome!!!!!! For me the best way to get off sugar was to jsut completely stop eating it in all forms. No refined sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, checking the labels of everythin I ate. It was sheer hell for about 5 days. Now I don't even crave it at all. I know if I have a lottle I will have a lot so I jsut completely avoid it.
