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.

thanks again and everone keep up the great work 80 perecnt of loosing weight is in the kitchen the fork you hold in your hands!!!!
