As hard as it is, I try a liquid protein shake day to start things back in the right direction. And I read the info from the doc about my band... And I ask ? here... Lots of support and info here about restarting weight loss.

Best of luck to you. Try to remember why you had your surgery[emoji171]

Limit your carbs ... they trigger cravings for more carbs/sweets.

I had my surgery almost 2 years ago and have just lost 70 lbs---you are doing ok! I know some have more to lose than others. Just keep working at it---

I noticed when I use Splenda I was craving sweets. Do you use something like that in your coffee or tea? Cutting that out has helped me so much.

thank you all so much i have recently got back on track and the craving have mostly stopped i am taking a Vitamin called themoplus from advocare and it has helped a lot with my cravings i have alot used trivia for a sweeter Kroger has a brand that is a little cheaper. i have also have cut out a lot of sodium by using like fresh vegetables instead of canned i really liked those P3 cause they were so convenient and know i use unsalted almonds cut up sharp cheddar cheese and get a rotisserie chicken and cut that cup and it has helped out a lot also i eat every 2-3 hours and its helped a lot too. thanks so much for the encouragement i am know like 28 out from loosing 100 pounds and i am only 6 months out. also i have been walking and doing a fitness hip hop class and it is so fun i sweat a lot and i don't even feel like im exercising know i need to be hitting the gym.
