Okay so I feel like I can't talk to my doctors or family about what I'm feeling so I need to vent to you all.

I'm just over 6 weeks out. I have lost 22lbs. I'm happy with my weight loss so far but I crave EVERYTHNG and have since day 1. According to my surgeon I'm not supposed to have any carbs or sweets for the first 12-18 months. I get that this stuff is bad for you, really bad, but if I had self control to not eat those things before surgery then I would have done it.

I just thought that after surgery cravings and this hunger would go away. I am trying to tell myself that as long as I stay on track 90% of the time that it's okay to have a "cheat day" or even a "cheat meal" Once a week. I'm really fine during the week its just the weekends that get me. Does anyone else feel like this? I just need a little break here and there.

I don't want to admit it to anyone, but I sometimes regret my decision. :- /

@@beachgal2935 please share them.

Wow wonderful...... thank you so much I can't wait to make these....

I, too, am going to encourage you to not give in to this "hunger" issue. The first thing I thought about reading your post was, you need to speak with your surgeon and dietician ASAP!! You need help and guidance to beat this "hungry-monster" into submission!! That's what your surgery team is there for, they want you to come to them and ask for help. You don't need to beat yourself up or get depressed in a ocean of guilt or regrets!

You did all this hard work to improve your life and be healthy. Now you have a tool to help you and it WILL, but you have help yourself too, and that means telling someone you need help and how you feel.

I hope you get past this and kick those carbs and sugar to the curb!! Dont let them win! I know you can do it!! ????
