Back two days, and still struggling with hunger, both physical and mental. I can only think it is a consequence of eating without any limits while on vacation. I had been relatively hunger free the weeks leading up to vacation.

Good news! Hunger and craving monsters are both back under control! scale is moving in the right direction again.

I'm relieved and proud of myself that I can go off the deep end with my diet, and then be able to reign myself back in.

Yeah! Those cravings are a b! (Says the woman who ate ice cream yesterday and lived to regret it! Sorry for me, but in Texas, 96 degrees is not hot enough to create a NEED for ice cream )

@Orchids&Dragons Have you seen these?

They are supposed to taste way better then the other high Protein brands. The Cookies and Cream get especially good reviews.

Oh, heavens no! No ice cream in the house. Much safer to risk a drive-thru once every few months! I am safe with SF fudgesicles in the house since they're already portioned out.

Lol .. I know the feeling. I haven't tried them yet because there is only one place local to me that sells them. They are never on sale when I go in. The $6.29 price point has saved me

$6.29! They must have replaced the sugar with ground-up diamonds!

On day 4 of my pre op diet I was so hungry... I went to Texas road house— I ate 4 rolls, an entire order of the cheese fries (yummy) a 20 oz blue rare ribeye 🥩 a loaded baked sweet potato, and the house salad. The salad and fries with their ranch which is my all time favorite ranch in the world. Yummy 😋 on the Sunday before my surgery I got Arby’s. 2 classic roast beef sandwiches, 2 large orders of their potato cakes, one order of the cheese sticks, a large fry and a large Dr Pepper and one apple turnover. After surgery I was super good untill 2 days ago. Someone brought us chicken tenders. I’m not cleared yet for my soft foods and I took a small bite of the tender (after removing the breeding) it was the best chicken I’ve ever had 😍😍😍 lol.

Tips please! I’m trying to get back on land. I’ve gained. Doing some meal prep tomorrow to start.

I'm not sure if it was just luck .... but I -

Stocked my house back up with healthful foods, I knew I enjoyed (cucumbers, cheese, lunch meat, low cal "fresh" soups)

I did an intermittent fast, pushed my first meal up until 2pm, and kept hunger at bay by drinking a lot of fluids.

Honestly, I'm pretty hungry again today. But it doesn't feel out of control because I'm making good choices with what I am eating.

I think meal prepping is pretty much the same as I did, my meals are just super simple.

Protein Shakes and eggs helped me get back on track after a week’s vacation full of ice cream and booze. shake at noon (I did the same morning fast thing, except for a cup of coffee) and then a two-egg omelette every night for the first week I was back.

Right now my cheat is 8oz of good cocoa or milky chai at night. Really takes the edge off any late-night cravings. Oh, and Bonne Maman jam in my yogurt.

I thought the "back on the wagon" comments were great and think they deserve their own thread:
