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?

Thank you I did not realize that about our hormonal change I just hope I can get through this it's been so hard but I want to be strong to overcome this that I'm feeling

That is great advice. It isn’t happening to you, it is you. This is a HARD journey.

Start weighing every single day. Log it (eg myfitnesspal app) - research shows the best indicator of long-term weight loss change is daily weighing and logging.

Make a new eating plan. Plan to stick to it religiously for just 3 days. Get started on the change... now!

I just downloaded the app that you told me to download and I'm going to go ahead and start working on it I thought weighing yourself everyday was a bad thing though but I am going to go and buy a scale I haven't weighed myself since I've had surgery the only times I weigh myself is when I go to the doctor I don't keep a scale at home but I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm going to buy one and start doing that and journaling everything that I eat thank you so much

So who is buying the soda? Stop buying it. You are playing head games with yourself.

This happens. Get back on the horse. One meal at a time, cut the carbs out. It's not that you fell off the wagon, it's that you get back on the wagon. Go get some sugar free popsicles or something to replace the binge sweets. You can do this one meal at a time. After 3 days the cravings will subside once you stop ingesting all those carbs. Add some good fats like avocado, coconut oil to help you feel sarisfied. Up your Protein to 100grams.

Get your bariatric materials out and reread them. Journal. Journal your food. Journal your gratitude.

I'm actually buying the soda for my husband and my son so maybe it's time to get them to start eating healthy to that way it's not so hard for me I completely understand what you're saying to it is a mind game and I really appreciate your advice I'm going to go ahead and take every piece of advice that everyone on this is giving me I don't want to mess I've come so far to let everything that I work so hard for go to waste thank you so much.

I'm almost 9 months into surgery in July and I've been really struggling with the surgery I've been binge eating on sweets and now I've started drinking soda and I don't know what to do I've been going to my therapy sessions but I'm struggling more after surgery than I was before surgery is there anyone out there that has gone through the same and can give me some advice please I'm afraid that I'm going to damage myself before I even hit my one year

I too struggle with a big sweet tooth. Best bet is to not buy candy/desserts...instead buy sugar free pudding or sugar free Jello. Bc your pouch only fits so much a few spoon fulls should get your pouch satisfied and quench that sweet urge. Doesn’t mean that occasionally you can have a bite or two of a dessert but my suggestion would be to not have that stuff regularly or kept in your house where temptation can creep up on you.
Keep strong and do the best you can do...everyday is a learning exp and trying to retrain your brain and bad habits. Bad habits have been the hardest for me as well...specifically sweets...skittles etc. I’m a work in progress too. I struggle daily too but I just try my best every day...sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fall down...but I get back up and tomorrow is a new day. Good luck and YOU CAN DO THIS!!😊👍🏻

Thanks I really appreciate it and it's nice to know I'm not alone in this.

I had surgery October 25 2018 and I have been struggling with binging on sweets and I need help is anyone else struggling with this please help me!!!
