I, too, have this problem. Once you eat carbs it's like an addict needing a fix. I will be doing some serious adjustments on monday..BTW, 6 weeks and 35 down.

Oh man, I am so glad I am not the only one out there battling this. I have given in to eating a valentines cookie and some blueberry muffin today after swearing off baked goods since last Nov. I feel like I am on a slippery slope right now and about to go down quick. My weight loss has stalled off and on since I had this surgery, even when I was eating quite perfectly. I worked out like crazy a few weeks ago and there was no movement so I kind of got upset about it and have been letting go a bit. I really know this is falling back into old behaviors and thinking though. Ugh. Time to snap out of it.

I have not been eating well either. I have been feeling hungry a lot and only four months out.Not eating too much at a time, just not right things. Ate chocolate around Valentine's Day and seem to be craving it now..

Don't beat yourself up. Just get rid of all the bad food in the house and start out fresh with Protein Shakes and only have what is on the plan. You went through sooooo much to get this done, don't blow it now. You can do this. Hey if I can do this anyone can!!!

I'm only about 3 weeks out but my dad is over a year out. He went from 350 to 195 and eats what he wants, just less. He even eats fast foods, hot wings, sweets, etc. I don't know if its the norm but its worked for him! He does still focus on Protein first!

I am 10 weeks out and down approx. 20 pounds. I am really happy with my progress, down from a size 24/3x to a size 18/1x. I haven't been this size in about 20 years. But, with Valentines day came a beautiful box of top quality chocolate. I have enjoyed the chocolates, there are a few left. The scale has gone up a pound, but I completely understand why. Now I get back to reality and appreciate the gift that I have been given.

You actually lose the most in the first 6 months, not the first three. You need to refocus yourself on why you got this surgery in the first place. I have eaten a basically low carb high Protein diet and am 3.8 pounds from my goal weight. If you eat too much processed carbs, it is true you will crave more and eat more, some are slider foods. Stay away from any kind of cracker unless it is one made of only grain(ryvita). Get the unwanted food out of your house, tell husband, friends, co-workers that you don't eat/want certain foods. Don't buy these foods for your family; they don't need them either. Take control and put yourself first.

On a side note at work on Valentine's Day we had a potluck dinner; I brought my own because I had no idea if there would be anything there for me to eat, glad that I did.

You want to lose as much as you can in the first six months don't waste this time.

Are you on any calorie counter/exercise tracking site? Are you tracking your foods? I think the best thing is to track your daily intake. Try myfitnesspal.com, you can track your daily food intake. I have found that Pre planning works best, do that and stick with it. Like another poster mentioned above, throw out all of the bad foods so you aren't tempted.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
