Hello everyone...I'm dying for some help...I'm having a carbohydrate fit!

I find myself eating dry honey nut cheerios....wontons baked with cheese and turkey pepperoni...wheat crackers...thinking since it's wheat it's fine....I read the label for carbs and sugar contents and it's pretty minimum for my daily carb count and I eat the serving suggestions, but after I eat it I feel extremely guilty, how do I kick this habit...it seems right but feel so wrong...

any one have suggestions for substituting these devils in disguise!

So are you making the wontons baked with cheese and pepperoni or buying them? Are you actually going to the store and buying these items or are they in the house for other family members? Either way, the more you eat the more likely you'll want more.

How do you kick the habit? The first thing I did was get the crap food out of my house; my son has his own snack shelf out in the garage but there's nothing out there that I would want anyway.

Second, I plan my meals for a couple of days in advance so that I have something to look forward to and have a lot of variety.

I'm on soft foods now, so the whole crunch business is out for me but I do get it. Maybe you could go back to the liquid diet for a day or two. This would remind you of the drastic measures that you had to go through for this surgery.

Yes....I was thinking about going back to the liquid diet and start over....

Yes I saw on pintrest the low carb pizza and thought I'll try it so I went out and bought the items.

I try to buy things to substitute bread I tend to eat tuna with crackers instead of bread...and the Cereal was my son but didn't eat it so i nibbled on them here and there and found myself snacking on them heavy.....I need to get rid of everything and just start from scratch thanks for your input!

      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.

      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! 😞
