If you had a DS, you don't have a pouch, you have a full functioning stomach.  It is supposed to stretch to the point where you can eat a small normal meal.  You can shrink your stomach, a least temporarily by doing only liquids for 4 or 5 days.  Protein shakes, etc.

At this point I feel like I would eat off my arm(LOL) just eating protein shakes for four days, I bet I would lose weight though. I wish I could stop the cravings for sweets.

The only way you will get rid of the cravings for sweets is to go very low carb for a few days, 3-4 days. Eat as much protein as you can.

It won't be easy but if you do that your cravings will go away.

Cut out artificial sweeteners will cut the cravings as well.

Who was your surgeon? Your profile says your BMI is 24---why do you think you don't have enough restriction? Are you gaining weight?
