:'( Always hungrey, grazing somebody help me PLEASE

I had my surgery in June 2004 lost about 95 pounds and needed to loose about 30-40 more. I did really great in the beginning but now for the past couple of months all I want to do is eat eat eat. I tell myself every morning it will be different and then bam out in the world I go and begin to eat not a lot but little things all day long. I just crave food. I know I am falling again into this deep dark hole I so wanted out of and I need help. I need to know what to eat, a menu to follow. I am getting so depressed and the more depressed the more I graze, what a circle. Someone help me please cos I know I came to far to go back.

I know what you are going thru - I am having the same problem. I was just thinking about counseling or something. It seems like I want to eat when I am bored. I know that...now I need to change that. I do the same thing, every morning I tell myself to stick to my planned meals only to fail. It also seems like I associate eating with relaxing. I hope we figure this out.

Me to, if u figure it out let me know. I just know that some of us r never ever hungry (not me) & some just graze all day (me) upsets me so much. I wanted to be the other way. never got to goal & have to watch every bite I eat. so sad Sharon

I am having the same issues and waited for 3 months to go back for the 2yr ck up, I have lost 180 lbs but have now gained about 14 back. My surgeon was really supportive. He now has me writing down everything I eat for the next two wks and I also need to write a list of 20 things I will do instead of eat when I have the urge. He then asked me to send it to him and he will look it over and contact me with his suggestions. I also have to write what I was feeling at the time that I feel hungry between my meals and if I eat anything at that time.

Am now back up to 205, gained 9 lbs in i month, i am terrified. this fear only feeds my food obsession so i eat even more, making myself even more depressed. if you have ANY words or advice from your dr, or if you encouraging wrds yourself please let me know. i feel alone and like i am a failure. i hate this. ps just reread this sounds confusing so will try to be more specific 374 lbs in March 2005 presurgery..june 29 2006 was down to 196 lbs, am now (AUG 3, 2006) 205 lbs gained 9 lbs in one month.
