[saritawillslim 11]

Idk if its the medication (metformin, provera) but lately ive bn eating so much im always hungry or tempted to eat and ive noticed I can eat more I acn eat a whole grapefruit n one sitting not get full b4 I had half an orange and it would feel stuck at the top of my sleeve idk if its my mind or if my stomache stretched :/ I hope not cuz im only 5 months post-op and ive only lost 66lbs I still have another 70 to go...

Omg is anybody else like super addicted to carbs like omg latley I can control myself I dnt eat chips but im not on my strict veggie diet or healthy food diet the other day I wanted a burger so I bought a bk staker from bk the $1 ones it came back up but I wanted it so bad I was about to pull my hair out.... Pls any feed back I feel like a failure :/

Eating carbs makes you crave more carbs

What helps me is finding a reasonable substitute or just avoiding carbs all together. Eat your Protein 1st.

I wrote this down from a post i read several months ago. Maybe it will help. Top 10 mistakes WLS patients make... 1 not taking their Vitamins, minerals and supplements. 2 assuming you have been cured of your obesity...3 drinking with meals.....4 not eating correctly- Protein first, nonstarchy vegs next....5 not drinking enough Water...6 grazing- have 3 meals and 1-2 PLANNED Snacks.....7 not exercising regularly...8 eating the wrong carbs( not complex) or not limiting even if complex....9 drinking soda again...10 drinking alcohol.

Just a reminder of the "rules.". Protein first, get the full daily amount of Water but not 30 minutes befor or after meals, no snacking, and get daily exercise.

I think it is easy to start off with a bang and then slowly stray from the plan without realizing it if you dont journal your intake and exercise every day. If that is the case, maybe the info above will help. Best wishes.

Good advice, moregoodtimes!

For a balanced diet good carbs are important in moderation.
