If you're religiously tracking everything you eat, it's probably just a stall and will pass. Make sure you're getting at least 64 ounces of liquid a day too.

I use to have variety of choices. Since you can only reheat at work, I can suggest you something.

Baked chicken 4 oz, steamed broccoli 3 oz, steamed baby carrots 3 oz and 3 oz kale. You can use this(12 oz/ 9 oz / 9 oz /9 oz) for 3 lunch servings, if you cook once and save in your fridge. You just need to microwave at your work place.

We all failed on many diet plans or we wouldn't be here. What people are able to maintain on can vary greatly. Some people yes have to stick close to the 1000 calorie mark and others like me maintain on 2000ish calories a day- very normal intake. I still need to eat 5-6mtimes a day and most meals can't take in more than 3oz dense protein, amybe 4oz. I can eat much more fruits and vegetables now that I am 4+ years out. In the beginning it was maybe 2 bites of veggies at a time.

I think losing weight - especially the first year you have to put your blinders on and dig in and lose the weight. Most people stick to under 1000 calories, high protein, low carb.

Go on the general forum/Gastric Bypass/VSG boards and read, read ,read..that is where most the action is.

I have found that in eating a no grains & no GMO's lifestyle works for me.

I cut out all of junk, soda & fast foods.

If I can't catch it, kill it, grow it or make it myself I won't eat it. In using this type of lifestyle change I was finally able to get to goal weight and maintain it for longer than ever.

My joke now is I dropped my weight by eating my own cooking. (I'm a great cook I just liked being a lazy cook at one time)

I also cured my Hidrinitus Suppurativa by riding my body of grains & GMO'S that turned into sugar. Corn was the main culprit as its in almost everything called fast or so called good. I found that if I eat it it causes an outbreak of my skin they don't heal fast either.

Dr's didn't have a clue about this skin issue till one said try an elimination diet. Eat only chicken, rice & brightly-colored fruits/veggies for a month.... It worked my "Zits" got smaller till they stopped completely and I've been outbreak free for almost 2 years now. No cravings, no pills (other than my vitamins and minerals).

You don't need another "Tool", you've got the best one on the market so use it.

Make better choices on what you put into your mouth on a daily basis.

Lacy, Increase vitamin B complex liquid to double for 3 days(2cc)in morning.. sublingual. hold under tongue for 2 min then swallow......

cut carbs to 20 or less per day. increase protein to surgeons recommendation. My surgeons was 90 grams protein... for me @ five five, and borderline small/med frame....ie wrist measurement 5 inches.

if already getting that, boost up by 15 grams protein. and add a teaspoon of fat coconut oil preferred.... to morning meal. doing these things together should stop the cravings. carb cravings are the worst and generally take about 3 days to go away.

Think back and see if you can remember your trigger food. Avoid that food. yes i am one of the vets surgery 24 yrs ago. an early surgery that i s no longer done. but broken up into many of the ones done now.
