How much is everyone eati...
How much is everyone eating??? I feel like i eat too much at times. Some days I am hungry and others I don't eat that much. I have done a bad thing and added some sugar back into my diet. It doesn't bother me and it hasn't ( That scares the crap out of me!!!) I have lost 135 pounds and am at my goal. I have to tell myself not to eat what my brain is craving. Any advice??

I don't have any advice for you because I find myself in the same situation you are in. Sugar does not bother me and I have added some, maybe even alot, back into my diet. But that ended yesterday. I am going back to basics today. I'm going to do a liquid diet for a week and then progress to soft foods and then back to my regular foods. I'm going back to measuring my foods and sticking to what I know is right for me to eat. I've got to stop this before I get out of control. I still have 30 pounds to lose before I'll be at my goal and I'm already 16 months post op.
I think its about the same for all of us, I still try to watch the sugar though as that is my weakness, the brain is a food addicts worse enemy lol
periodically I just go back to basics to prove I still have the power to do so. my weight is at goal, and I haven't gained but would like to lose 5-10# to have some wiggle room,
231#/140#
This really seems to be happening to all of us around this time. I feel like I eat so much more and lately I feel hungry all the time. I dont get that full feeling anymore and that scares me. I am below gaol but I am happy here and would not like to gain any weight. I do feel like I can eat a lot of sugar and have been especially with all these holidays, but I too have been trying to get back to basics..blah.
Take Care,

Get help if you need it. Are you exercising? Because I can definitely eat more, but I exercise to burn the extra calories. Another suggestion is to get support from support group or a theapist who specializes in cognitive behaviors and has experience with eating disorders. Specifically overeating....:-0 Do be afraid to seek help if you find yourself gaining back weight. Because some weeks I gain, but I don't keep gaining. I go to all support group meetings each month and I meet with a theapist each month just to have a check in because I know I need it. The surgery did not fix our brains.... Only our stomachs. It is definitely scary, because none of us want to look backwards. Keep up the good work! and do whatever it takes to stay and get where you want to go....!!
Hi everyone, I think my problem is, I don't drink enough water like I was in the beginning. I use to drink alot of Propel. I carried a bottle of it around with me and now I'm lucky to get 2 glasses of water a day. Hum, My plan is to head for Costco buy a case of Propel and get back on track with the water intake. I know for me if I eat sugar the more I crave..BAD STUFF! I feel sick if I eat over 10grams at one time. I have sent a pic three times but it hasn't been posted yet. Tee
