Your question is my biggest fear. I wish there was something that I could say to encourage you. But I am going to keep checking back to see if someone might be able to give you some advice that I could use too!!

Go back to the basics...protein, Water, and mix up your exercise routine. You may want to mix up your food, too. You may just be bored with the routine you were in...try a new routine.

If you aren't writing down your food, you may want to do that for a bit...so you can keep a check on how many sweets like the mm's & ice cream you mentioned that you're having, so it doesn't get out of control.

Best of luck to you! Take care!

Hi. The first I would do in my home is get rid of all the bad food. 2nd I would look for a healthy substitute to satisfy the craving. 3rd I would look at an old picture to remind me that I don't want to go back.

I am almost three months out. I have good days and bad days....but you can't stop now. You can't. You have come too far and you are worth it. Think back to all the miserable ways of obesity, and all the things you couldn't do.... think of the progress you made and how good it feels.

Maybe talk to a professional to get back on track. Lose all the bad foods you have on hand. 'Cheat' on something you're allowed to have....buy something new; clothes, candles, something for your home. Keep talking to yourself to get your head in the game. And as suggested, switch up your exercise routine and diet. And surround yourself with people and places that will promote success. And if you have faith, pray for the strength to continue this journey.

If its not in the house I wont think about it or want it. I keep Fiber one brownies in the freezer for when I am in the mood for chocolate. You need to blog every thing you eat. It forces you to see your mistakes and fix them every single day! Keep your calories around 6-800 calories. 70 grams of Protein. 64 ounces water.exercise. Stay strong.

Thank you everyone!!! Yes I think I'm bored with my routine I have been afraid of trying new things so I pretty much eat the same thing day in and day out I'm afraid things won't sit well with me so I stay in my comfort zone I need more variety and I need to get rid of the junk that's made it's way back into my home..

You caught it early - really - two weeks into a bad eating cycle isn't that much damage. I bet you caught this way earlier than you have before. Just get back into like you've said just above and you'll be in fine shape.

      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.
