I assume you are talking about carbs. Certain carbs do go down SO easily and it is easy to go off track once you start with them, because "carbs breed carbs". Once you start having SOME carbs, you start craving MORE carbs, so it's a slippery slope. My best advice to you is to try to hit the reset button. Track your food for a few weeks. Try to keep your carns low. Try to maximize your Protein. And hopefully you can kick the carb cravings again.

My surgeon says that obese people are carb addicts and the way you treat an addiction is to abstain completely. I know that is EXTREMELY difficult for anyone, not only people who struggle with obesity.

I am not sleeved yet - have a few weeks until my surgery. But I am also a life long self sabotager so I feel you. I also think it's super helpful to remove temptation from your reach as much as possible. If there are no bad choices easily available it will be harder for you to make them. Good luck and hugs to you. You can do this!
