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!

Thank You!!! It's really not that easy but am trying!!

I started a new diet focusing mainly on fluids couple of days ago (and i am suffering to stay away from sweets.). hopefully it'll do the job..

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.

Yes I think this might be the case..I started to be more careful about sweets now..still having them every now n then though.. thank you ..

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..

Thanks all..I'll try the book..the tracker and the Protein rules

making a very slow progress at being sugar free again but still wont lose hope
