I went through the VSG in November 2011. Starting weight was 242, I lost 50 lbs prior to my ssurgery date & over the course of the next year steadily dropped per month. My weight loss bottomed out in 2012 (December) I weighed 127lbs and was looking awful, bruised from just sitting down and was miserable. Over the next 6-7 months I started a new relationship, new jobs, moved to a new state and gained about 30lbs over the course of a year. I try to maintain my weigth about 135, which is where I am comfortable. Currently I'm at 155. I try to do good watching my weight but ti seems like my very biggest struggle is #1 Candy, but worse than that, since the surgery I can not stand room temp Water, it has to be ice cold. So I add ice. Then I eat the ice & nearing the bottom of my cup of ice, I get the overwhelming feeling of being painfully starved. & then I eat, Mind you I drink 4-6 cups( 20-32 oz Yeti ramble cups) of ice water a day, but I cant help but being miserably hungry after I finish my ice water. & it's causing me to eat way too many calories and weigh nearly 25 lbs over where I should be. Anyone dealing with this? I'm desperate b/c I'm so thirsty, but I cant keep up this cycle of eat, drink, eat drink.

Have you at least had a PCP checking your bloodwork?

I hate to admit this btu when I moved states, I stopped seeing the bariatric doctor and nutritionist. I dont even know where to find one less than an hour away.
