I Need Help!

[covergirl21diva 0]

Hello I need some help, and support:

I am almost 5 years out from having gastric bypass surgery. It has changed my life. I lost about 100lbs. Last year was a real struggle for me. I am slowly starting to pick the weight up. I constantly snack and it's junk. Snaking is my biggest issue because I still cannot eat a full meal. But I snack myself sick. I was doing really well for a few months with meal prep and working out, and I got a new position at work and got off track. I don't want this weight to creep up on me. I need help. I really need some pointers on how to jump start. Please help!

Thank you

Have you heard of the 5 day pouch test. Do a web search and see what you think. I'm to new to this game yet to try it out but I've heard a lot about this test. Good luck

I was also going to suggest the 5 day pouch test. I highly recommend it to kick start everything again! I'm getting ready to do it myself.

Go back to the basics:

keep a food journal--this is key.

drink all your water!!!

don't drink anything with your meals\

no carbonated beverages at all

chew your food to a pulp

eat slowly but don't take more than 30 minutes to eat

Count your grams of Protein and make sure you get all your Protein in

Protein first!!

And I would highly recommend a support group and/or therapist that specializes in food addiction or cognitive behavioral therapy or some such

Best of luck. You did this before and you can do it again!
