Why aren't you motivated? We can't motivate you. You have to motivate yourself.

I could talk to you the way Sgt Hartman from Full Metal Jacket would talk to you in fat camp, but you'd have to pay me.

My surgeon warned me cravings could come back as early as 3-6 months post-op and that the restricted feeling from surgery may not help with cravings long term. Cravings are the same for us as they are for other substance abuse users and must be dealt with in that way. My contingency plan should that happen is to run to a support group for food addiction and or my family physician for treatment with one of the new medications that specifically help control food cravings i.e.: Contrave and pray it helps! I'm sorry your struggling it's disappointing when you've worked so hard. Addiction is a daily battle you can do it!

MSer07 don't feel bad!!! This is what this is for to SUPPORT & MOTIVATE one another!!!! I too ate a small chocolate egg at Easter and my weight has stalled and I felt my cravings coming back, the struggle is REAL! What I did is do two days of liquid diet and it helped me, I didn't feel hungry at all and no headaches. I lost 3 pounds and now I feel I'm back on track. I had my sleeve done 11/15/16, I lost 43 before surgery and 51.7 after surgery. I was looking up different things and on here I found that if we lessen our carbs and increase our Protein that will surely help. Remember your not alone

My suggestion is to focus on why you had the procedure. I'm almost 6 weeks out and have zero desire for bad food, I did battle occasional head hunger. My motto is treat my body like the fuel in my car, if I put the wrong fuel in my body like a car, it will slowly break down. Best of luck xo
