The only thing you can do- tough it out and stick to your calories.

It sucks but we can't give into our hormones every month or we'd never lose. We'd probably even gain.

This sucks

also this is where you need to really focus to understand head hunger vs. true physical hunger.

If you are really craving something, ie. chocolate then I would suggest either finding a healthy alternative (ie. a 90 calorie Fiber one brownie) or having a SMALL quantity of it, such as 1 or 2 hershey kisses and savor them or Missy has a yummy mocha drink that's low on cal/fat. SO there are ways to satisfy the craving or really focus on if you are truly hungry. ;-)

PMS is the only time I want chocolate. I will say no, no to myself the first few days. Then by day three I make sure I have enough calories/carbs left to have 1 Hershey's kiss. That usually works. So maybe think about what you are really craving and just work it in. Before restriction many say it's like dieting. But if I feel like I've allowed myself the chocolate then I haven't failed. I haven't cheated.

My nut had me do something last time I was in her office and it was from one of the Oprah shows. You take a chip, a peanut and a piece of chocolate. Most things people like to snack on. Then take each one separately, pick up the item and smell it, ask yourself if it smells good, then touch it to your lips with you eyes closed, then put it in your mouth and just let it sit in your mouth for a couple minutes without chewing it. What does it feel like, what does it taste like. It is supposed to help you really decide if it is worth the crave, calories or even if it tastes good. I can tell you that I hated the peanut and I do not eat them alone as a snack anymore! Also I hated the potato chip, nasty texture and flavor, the only thing good was the chocolate. And I. Do not deprive myself of the chocolate, but savor it and then you find you don't pop a bunch of them into your mouth! It is amazing what things taste like when you actually smell them, feel the texture and enjoy the taste and not woof it down.

The video uses a raisin instead of peanut.

Go to Oprah.com and search Geneen Rot's raisin, chip and chocolate exercise.

try some Decaf hot tea. warm liquids are filling and will help you to feel satisfied. I'm struggling with the same issue as you--but I'm sticking to plan as much as possible. Also, depending on your preop diet--if you are doing shakes, add an extra for additional protien. Your body is burning more calories, so offset it with approved diet foods. You can do this!

I'm on solids. It is seven weeks out. I didn't feel this way on the preop diet. I can't have gluten, wheat or dairy. Leave a lot of stuff out.

I have not had PMS for many years. But many years ago I did a diet through one of those diet centers. They had you get off all sugars and salt and I never had PMS cravings. In fact that was over about 25 years ago and I still don't use salt on anything. I hate McDonald's fries with salt. I do have dark chocolate every so often.

Good luck.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
