I am five weeks post op. I am meant to be on a Protein only diet and I have been cheating. Every morning I wake up and say I am going to stay on program but by 4:00pm I have fallen back into my bad habits. I have not eaten a meal and I am not hungry but I start picking off the kids plates and by 9:00pm realize all I have done is picked at foods (grazed) from 4:00pm. I need a little help and advice. I know some people are thinking why have the surgery if your gonna cheat, I did not plan on cheating. Anyone not able to dump bad habits right off to bat ? (I have lost 25ibs)

Thank you for all your responses. I never ate regularly, I skipped breakfast and lunch and normally started grazing once the kids are home from school. The timer and journal sounds like a good place to start. Thank you all again. I will try and focus. I know this tool is an amazing gift and I have to work at it for it to work.
