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.

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

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

Think that is an excellent assessment. So sorry its happened so often to you.

I have been struggling with anxiety and panic since my surgery I'm 3 1/2 months post OP and it's really getting to me. I've been told that the incredible amount of hormones that are trapped in fat are released with rapid loss and wreak havoc with our emotional states. It gets better I've been told. I am getting better because I know feeling this way is normal. I also see a therapist because this journey has opened doors I insisted remain shut thru my life and now they need to be cleaned and aired out. I will be okay and you will too my friend YOU WILL TOO.

Omg I've been struggling alot since surgery my emotional state is worse now! I had a working interview this morning but had a severe panic attack I've done this so many times now I don't know we're to go from here any advice will be helpful thanks

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!

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

I know how you feel - I struggle with urges as well. I do my best to make sure not to have unhealthy options available - as cliché as it is, 'out of sight, out of mind'. I also do my best to distract myself. It will get easier, just stay strong!

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!!😊👍🏻

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!!!
