Are you pre or post-op? Either way, the best way to kick the carb habit is to go back to putting Protein first. You might even want to return to just a liquid diet of Protein Shakes for a few days.

I too was consuming too many calories. So, I did the 5 day pouch test and am back on track and down 5 lbs. I really works and lets you know that your tool is still functioning. Might want to give it a try.

I've been eating so much / frequently, a lot of carbs .. How do I stop

How far post-op are you?

Are you tracking, weighing, and measuring your food?

Are you planning your meals and Snacks?

Are you not bringing high-carb and starchy foods into the house?

Have you talked to your NUT about your difficulties?

Try going back to basics.

Follow your program.

Focus on eating Protein first and avoiding starches and added sugars.

Eat slowly, take small bites, and chew thoroughly.

Get in ALL of your Protein and AT LEAST 64 oz of Fluid or more a day.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as required.

Exercise.

It's the reset plan. If you google the 5 day pouch test you will see. I actually order the book from Amazon and it has some recipes that Im going to try too, but get the book. It;s only $5.00 on Amazon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
