So I'm doing the 6 month weight in and monitored diet. My PCP did not give me a diet "Per Se" just told me to go in a weight my self always around the same time as my first weight in.

Problem is I can't stop carving everything I see... don't get me wrong I'm controlling my portions and watching what I eat but I sometimes give in to the desire and eat the craziest things for example I did good all day yesterday but when I got home for dinner all I wanted was French Fries with ketchup (usually I don't eat fried food) ... did anyone go through this?? any wise words on how to control this anxiety?? I want to at least lose 20 pounds before surgery I don't know what to do

I was gaining weight during my nutritional visits, mine was not so much anxiety more the fact that I felt like I won't be able to eat these things very soon so why not enjoy it now. My NUT recommended I follow a low carb diet and sustitute one of my meals with a protein shake. She said its a good way to try out protein shakes for the future and for me a good way to ease myself into my 2 week liquids only preop diet.

Thanx Vsgchichi I think the not being able to eat those things again also has a part on these crazy cravings but your advise it's great I will try that and see how it goes

Your welcome

The best thing abt the sleeve is that you WILL be able to eat those things in the future, just much less of them. You will go thru a period of months post op where you won't be able to (or want to for that matter) but eventually you will. So don't let your mind fool you. I would replace at least one meal a day with a hi protein, lo carb shake, eat mostly lean protein and veggies in reasonable portions for dinner and start drinking tons and tons of water. Start getting used to finding something to do with yourself when the cravings hit bc they can return post op. Good luck!

Thanx mamasez I am having more water and veggies but I will also try the protein and see how it goes
