I was doing so good for the first two months and now I find myself snacking and craving junk. A couple Cookies here and a few cheers there. Help! I need some support to get back on track. I had surgery may 28th and have lost 60 lbs since then and still have 65 left to go.

When I feel the desire to snack I eat Greek yogurt and P3 Protein packs from Oscar Meyer. Don't give up. 60 pounds is wonderful!

I was sleeved just before you. 60# is great!! Don't get too frustrated with this new phase, it too will pass.

I buy Quest Protein bars for when I want something sweet. The chocolate ones are pretty good and so are the lemon. I also snack on watermelon squares, cheese squares, and saltines with laughing cow cheese wedges. I dont snack much though because I use fluids instead .... Protein drinks (nectar has great fruity ones!) or SF Water drops/flavors like raspberry lemonade help too.

@@Pinkgirl1234, I thought that too. But I can tell you from reading this site for over a year, many people , including myself, have hunger pain that comes back-full force. It helps we have the restriction but it's so easy to snack every few hours. The key is to pick something healthy.....and that can be a battle.

Hello, how about change your snack to healthy Snacks. Instead of sodas drink Water. You can do this you've done it already. Dont forget exercise no minimum 4 times a wk. your goal is right around the corner. If the others can do it you can do it too ????.

I can also relate. I do try to pick on Proteins and nothing else but once in a while I have a sweet! I try to do the right things but sometimes those Snacks and cravings are too strong! Weak moments happen. I want to be good all the time but it is hard! Struggle daily!

Tell me that my weakness for chocolate will subside when the hormone is removed.

Between chocolate Protein Shakes, chocolate Protein pudding and chocolate calcium chews, I haven't had very many days when I haven't had chocolate since my surgery,

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
