same here.. the hardest part for me, was being told I HAD to up my carbs bcause ketosis is so dangerous for a fetus.. I have been trying to stay away form breads/pasta/carby formed things.. I have been trying to get my carbs from fruit.. OY.. I am very much and all or nothing girl.. I do good when I either CAN eat it or I CAN'T This middle gound is very hard.. I am trying so hard not to build bad habits.

Hey Jenn, I am right there with you girl! Those carbs are killing me. I can't seem to stay away from them too. I find the more I eat of them, the more cravings I have. My pouch doesn't do well with breads and pasta but popcorn and cereals cause no problems. I have tried making a protein shake with extras like added yogurt or carnation instant breakfast and fruit is extremely filling for breakfast and gives you a big protein boost for the day. It keeps me full for along time so it cuts down on my intake. Other than that, will power my dear! Do you know where I can find some? Good luck and keep fighting the good fight Julia P

Hi Jenn. We had our surgeries on the same day and were about the same starting weight. I was 333. I've lost 121 lbs. I'm at 212. I think we're doing fine I struggle with carbs too. The more I eat the more I want. I do best to only have very few whole grain carbs, make sure I'm drinking my protein drinks as snacks and try to just keep the carbs out of the house. I usually have a protein drink for breakfast and then for a snack a few hours later either have an egg or some cheese. I don't eat dry cereal. Very rarely do I have oatmeal but I do eat it sometimes.

Honey you are so NOT ALONE! My head only wants to eat what I can't have! Some days are better than others, not many. I know we have heard this a million times but they didn't touch our heads only our bellies. We just have to learn not to give into those carbs! If someone has any ideas please share them! I am trying to drink lots more water when my HEAD says FOOD, walk, etc.....! I am fearful of gaining it back....someone said yesterday that overall only 5% of people keep their weight off after 5 years! That scares me!
