Let's try it together maybe?! I've been reading about the pouch reset diet and I think I'll try that. I'm very down about allowing this to happen but I honestly feel like the sweets and crisps cravings are worse now than before I had the op. I remember the weeks after surgery I was able to eat much quicker than I expected to be able to but because I hadn't had any sugar I wasnt craving it at all. Maybe the pouch reset will help break that cycle again.

This is me too. I'm a year post surgery and not anywhere near my goal. I feel like it hasn't worked because my appetite has barely changed. I fill up fast ish on meals but I get hungry again really quickly so I basically eat half my meal but then have to come back an hour later and finish it. I'm doing the same thing with crisps and sweets. I'm vegetarian so find it really hard to get that much protein every day. I'm really depressed about it honestly and absolutely disgusted at myself for allowing it to happen. After the surgery for a couple of months I felt great because I was full so easily but now I feel like my appetite is the same as before the op. Maybe protein shakes might help?
