I haven't had my surgery yet but I do know that the bariatric team is there to help. Get in touch with your group. The other thing, carbs make you hungrier and are empty calories. Get back on track and take control of you! You make the decision of what you put in your mouth.
Find out why you are eating, frustration, boredom, depressed.... Remember, it's your health that is going to suffer in the long run. We are all here for you for support too, but you have to decide what you want to do. What I have started doing is BEFORE I eat something I say to myself..."why do I want this cake, candy, whatever?" Then I think.....I'm frustrated, sad, upset, etc." and it's been helping.

Three years post op, as of today! I lost 23 lbs prior to surgery, 85 total. I have been maintaining for 2.5 years, going between 144 and 147.

Wow! I just looked back on my pre-op diet, I had surgery 6/19/13 and as of today I lost 95lbs. I didn't drink as much Water for a week and my weight loss went into a stall, now I'm drinking at least 64oz of water daily, I don't count the other liquids I drink and none of its carbonation. My foods I eat are only foods that have Protein in it, I have had a couple of bouts with mind hunger but I got through that by getting back on track. I have a ways to go still but I feel much better. Good luck on your journey on your weight loss.

I'm in the process of getting all my clearances, cardiology, pulmonary, etc. So ready for this. I'm hoping for 2nd week in November. Current weight 260. I'm a solid girl so many people tell me I don't look this heavy, but I am going to be so happy when I can strip off the layers of clothes that I hide under.
