My surgeon warned me cravings could come back as early as 3-6 months post-op and that the restricted feeling from surgery may not help with cravings long term. Cravings are the same for us as they are for other substance abuse users and must be dealt with in that way. My contingency plan should that happen is to run to a support group for food addiction and or my family physician for treatment with one of the new medications that specifically help control food cravings i.e.: contrave and pray it helps! I'm sorry your struggling it's disappointing when you've worked so hard. Addiction is a daily battle you can do it!
