I think you already knowbthe answer. Start with the Boot Camp and go back to square one. Five days of liquid only and start back on the road that made you successful. You can do this!

So happy to see someone with the same issue!!! I too am a little over one year out (15 months actually) and while it is very hard for me to sit and eat a "meal" I don't have any trouble eating a few pieces of candy or something sweet! It almost makes me wish I had gone the bypass route where I would be so afraid of dumping, that I would stay completely away from sweets!!

I too know the answer.....DON'T EAT IT! But it's not that easy.

Just wanted you to know you are not alone!

You aren't eating enough Proteins. My doc said focus on them first then there'll be very little room for anything else. Try the Protein ready to drinks, I think they'll satisfy your sweet cravings.

Out of curiosity, is it causing weight gain for you? Also, do you find that you can eat a lot of junk or does the sleeve stop you from gorging?

I made a little tracker when I was pre op and trying to overcome head hunger. I imagine I'll go back to using it as soon as I can eat foods again. It says "Ignoring Head Hunger" at the top and has a space where I can clip up a numbered card to keep score of my days. I have it hanging on the pantry door.

I went back to zero a few times, mostly because I had a planned celebration. It did help me with impulse eating when I was able to ask myself if something was worth going back to 0. I also used it as the basis for nonfood rewards.

I bought the book SKINNY RULES by Bob Harper. That's what I plan to live by after I have no food restrictions which will be July 30. Protein first always. Live on fish.

No it's not causing weight gain for me..but I stopped losing for a long time now :( and about junk food I noticed that I can eat more of it easier than other food ..still the sleeve stops me at some point ofcourse..thats why I really need to be more careful..I started to write down everything I have during the day,something like food diary..hope it'll help..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
