Hand in there. I get the same feeling every once in a while. I find that I curve the carbs monster but fighting it with protein. I usually choose some peanut butter. tablespoonful usually does the trick. You are not alone.

I don't think your question is weird. I had a weird request for my dr. I asked if I could see the stomach after the operation, but I was told NO and I also asked what do they do with it. I was told it gets sent to a lab for pathology, record the findings. If there any abnormalities that may be of concern, they will save it for further studies. Otherwise, they get rid of it.

I can have a salad but nothing else. my stomach can't handle any protein or anything else with it. I use lime juice, not salad dressing.

I eat one slice of very well toasted bread in the morning and 3 to 4 crackers sometime during the day with a snack. that's my carb intake for the day. I don't use butter on my bread, i use avocado.

I snack on 4 fat free ritz crackers and natural peanut butter = total peanut butter 1 table spoon no more than that

ME TOO!!! OH MY GOSH... well not really, a stall but the same fear because i'm nearing that point where most people get stuck and don't loose as much or as fast. i've been loosing 1 to 2 lbs a week, this week i didn't loose anything. so i know my time is coming. I too find that i can eat more, faster and I'm beyond scared, i'm freaked out about it. I go to a monthly meeting but I think I need to get with a counselor or someone, one on one. Hang in there. let's all support each other.

Me too. I've been wearing my big clothes so no one has seen me in small clothes, but I had a meeting today and I wore more fitting clothes and everyone kept calling me HEY SKINNY, and saying you look great. I was nice to hear, but overwhelming at the same time. I'm not big having so much attention on me. I felt naked in a way!

I've learn go back to basics, drink water and keep in touch with nutrition counselor. keep a journal.

I'm understand completely. I actually go crazy on Friday nights. I don't know why but i crave chips and salsa. I have a few just to satisfy the craving. I crave ice cream, but I have not tried it. I don't crave grease food. I do crave bread. I crave a beer. so I drink lots of water. You are ok to feel what you fell, but be strong and don't give in. I have found that a tbsp of peanut butter takes away my cravings. I've been studying and that's stressful. I find myself grazing, so I don't study at home. I go to the library with no access to food. good luck. be strong. call for help when you feel tempted to eat.

canned fruits and veggies. I can live on canned green beans and spinach. I can eat fresh tangerines, bananas, grapes. I pair up canned tangerines w/cottage cheese. or fresh fruit and cottage cheese. The Nutrition counselor wants me to try raw veggies. I'm afraid they won't go down. I eat mangoes, pineapples and papaya. all these i can mix with cottage cheese. I add lime juice to the canned green beans and spinach.

I regret not having done this earlier. I regret having been so overweight for so long. I regret having a food addiction. i regret that food has such power over me. I DO NOT regret taking control of my life or giving myself a chance. I DO NOT regret not being able to eat the things i crave or don't eat anymore. that's how I got to be almost 300 Lbs. I would so do this again in a NY minute
