Pls any feed back I feel like a failure :/

Eating carbs makes you crave more carbs

What helps me is finding a reasonable substitute or just avoiding carbs all together. Eat your protein 1st.

I wrote this down from a post i read several months ago. Maybe it will help. Top 10 mistakes WLS patients make... 1 not taking their Vitamins, minerals and supplements. 2 assuming you have been cured of your obesity...3 drinking with meals.....4 not eating correctly- Protein first, nonstarchy vegs next....5 not drinking enough Water...6 grazing- have 3 meals and 1-2 PLANNED Snacks.....7 not exercising regularly...8 eating the wrong carbs( not complex) or not limiting even if complex....9 drinking soda again...10 drinking alcohol.

Just a reminder of the "rules.". Protein first, get the full daily amount of water but not 30 minutes befor or after meals, no snacking, and get daily exercise.

I think it is easy to start off with a bang and then slowly stray from the plan without realizing it if you dont journal your intake and exercise every day. If that is the case, maybe the info above will help. Best wishes.

I can eat anything just in small amounts..i did notice when i hit my 6 months post op i was able to eat a little more..buttttt it is no where near what i used to eat :-)

Im about 7 months post op now.

Good advice, moregoodtimes!

For a balanced diet good carbs are important in moderation.

If you really want a snack try nutmeg state nutrition site. They have high Protein low carb Snacks ! Also have Protein drinks like grape pineapple orange , orange ... Taste like koolaide!
