Discouraged

[willkat76 0]

Hi everyone. I’m new to this site. I do want some advice. I am now 2 months post op and have lost 33 pounds and seem to now gain and lose the same 3 pounds. I am struggling with sweets and am really wanting soda. I feel like I’m grazing and struggling with eating a stable meal except dinner. For dinner every night I do eat tomatoes and cottage cheese. Any advice to get over this sweet hump. I am so disappointed in myself and discouraged.

This may be a stall. See link below.

I'm not sure what food stage you are in. (i'm too far out from surgery to remember) Hit your Protein goal. It will help with hunger.

You might try some new healthy recipes instead of eating the same things every night. Also there are healthy options for a sweet tooth.

Here is a link to my dieticians bariatric friendly recipes.
