Hi. I'm 2 years out from my sleeve surgery. I was doing very well and slid downhill recently. I was under a tremendous amount of stress and started stress eating. Ive gained 8 lbs. I do not want to gain anymore and really need to lose the 8 I gained. I feel like I'm hungry all of the time no matter what I eat, and yes I've done high Protein. I need to mention that even after the surgery I still needed to eat healthy Snacks in between meals, the whole ghrelin thing didn't apply. I was still hungry. I was down a total of 86 lbs. Now I feel like I'm spiraling out of control and with the holiday's coming I'm getting really nervous. I just can't go back the old me, unhealthy and feeling like crap. Suggestions??

I would suggest going low-carb and journaling everything you are eating and drinking. What kind of exercise are you doing?

I think it's normal for a little bit of "rebound" weight, but you're right to try and get it under control now. I find that when I stick to the super low carb and high Protein diet for a day then the next day I'm not as hungry. Carbs and sugar make me feel like I'm ravenous. It's a cycle.

I'll admit very little exercise. Im taking a class 3 evenings a week and work a full time job plus 3 house cleaning jobs. My class will be done mid Jan and then I'll be hitting the gym.

Try the pouch reset diet. Congrats on your loss! You can get back in track!
