I am still craving carbs BIG TIME. I met with my surgeon yesterday and it was a relief to hear that my hunger I'm experiencing is common after stoping some of the prescription meds I was taking pre-op. Metformin being the biggie but also no high cholesterol meds etc... I had a bad eating habit of eating large amounts of pasta or rice before surgery, sometimes with bread. My diet was carbs, carbs, carbs. I am so happy to be given this new start to my life but not eating my carbs is harder than I would have ever imagined. My Dr. Cleared me for most solid foods now so starting today is going to be a big challenge not to stray to the unhealthy food. Any advice from someone who has been where I am at?

These are just a few that I can't add to my profile from my phone. 72 lbs lost

Hi all, I know I don't post on here as much as I would like but I do read posts almost daily. Many of you don't even know how much help you have been through my journey. I find it difficult to post replies without over thinking about saying the wrong thing. I will reach my 7 month post op date on the 21st of this month and have been at so many stalls lastings for 3 weeks plus lately. I started my journey at 220, my goal is 120 and I am currently at 162. I do my fitness pal and have begun obsessing at how much more I am eating than others and beating myself up about not being at 150 to the point of tears. My daily powerades and Gatorades make my carbs high but when I do the math over and over again I start to get frustrated because I feel like I barely eat but yet there it is in black and white alllll my calories for the day. Ugh. Today is my 2nd day going back to only liquids for the 5 day pouch test but I took bites of my sons meals both times I cooked supper so I obviously have no control so my goal is to keep on all liquids until I can truly say I did my FULL 2 days. I think I mostly am just wanting to share/vent or even update but I could use any advice you wonderful friends could give right now

I am going to give it up for a bit. Thank you!

Really giving a lot to think about. I love it. I will do this. Today is a much better day but reading these posts make it even better. Thank you!

Sammi25 this was for you. Just figuring out how to use my phone app sorry!

You are very right. Isn't funny how sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else to snap outta it. Thank you for your reply

My surgeon is the one that suggest I always have a Gatorade in my hand. I only drink 1-2 a day and he said this wasn't good enough. I drink Powerade zero most of the time but I wonder why this is different for me? I thought it was a surgery thing??!

Thank you!

This is great to read. I have been at a stall for over 2 months but this past week I have noticed my lbs staying off not just bouncing up the next day. Thank you for the hope I needed!
