Carbs are a hard thing to kick' date=' because everything always tastes better on bread or over noodles. Unfortunately the only way around it is to convince yourself, which unfortunately is never easy, I am worried that I may end up having problems with carbs again down the road because even though I am only a month out I still think every time I eat anything how much better it would be with bread. I wish you the best of luck with it, it's not easy but since you are on here seeking advice you are definitely ready to make the effort. As for the Protein shakes, have you tried any of the unflavored ones, also I find sometimes it's easier to mix them in instant sugar free pudding and make a Protein pudding and eat it. Another option maybe using Protein Bars instead of shakes, most of the Atkins brand bar taste like candy bars and are very low carb. Hope the helps, good luck.[/quote']

I'm new to the group so hello! My year anniversary will be 1/31 and I have been having the same issue wanting chocolates and chips so I threw out all the junk food that I had in the house and when I want those things I fix a cup of coffee when I want chocolate and eat cucumbers and vinegar when I want chips. There is also this pita bread called Joseph's that u can buy at Wal-Mart I think it only has like 3 net carbs that I eat when I want bread hope this helps

There is a back on track thread.

It's very hard. After awhile, we can eat more than we first could ,plus head hunger really gets in the way.

I have found the only way to get rid of cravings is to cut carbs almost completely. After about 3 days, I lose the feeling of wanting to snack all the time.

I keep treats that I like but will not overeat. I can't have potato chips and have to limit how often I have popcorn. But I can have pretzels for a salty carb without going nuts and for something sweet/fatty, I do well with Peanut Butter and graham crackers.

Everyone has to find their own path. I know eggface eliminated white carbs and sugar permanently.

For low cal treats I have hot soy milk with a little splenda and seasonal flavoring. Right now, that's a little cinnamom and nutmeg. Tastes like eggnog. I also like the sugar free instant hot cider mix (15 calories). I usually eat some fruit every evening. Whatever is in season. Right now, it's apples, pears, litte cutie tangeries, grapes, or 1/2 bananna.

I get my sweet on in the morning with yogurt. Right now I like it with canned pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and Splenda.

Things I can't have in the house: good white bread, salted nuts, potato chips, baked sweets, chocolate candy.< /p>

I found a Protein Powder that is good!! I mix it with the pre made EAS carbadvantage shakes. The Protein powder is called amp from GNC i got the chocolate, vanilla, and unflavored. I take one scoop of which ever i am in the mood for add two table spoons of Decaf instant coffee, a vanilla eas shake and ice and blend it. It taste like a frozen coffee drink from starbucks! or I do the chocolate shake with the extra chocolate protein powder with the PB2 powder and ice and blend it taste like a peanutbutter cup! and with the AMP protein added to the EAS shakes each shake is 41 grams of protein!

When I was stalled, I increased my Protein to 80-90 grams per day & increased calories to 1100. It worked.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
