Crackers, fries, battered, hot pocket... Everything you are eating is carb based. Fish is great- not when it's battered and fried paired with fries. You have gone far, far off course. I'm not even as concerned with the diet soda as I am with what you are eating.

You should read the rny menu thread for ideas.

You don't need to retrain your stomach- you need to re-educate your mind.

You can't train a stomach. You can only train your brain. And you absolutely need to train yours not to reach for the carb laden foods you've been eating.

Exercise really doesn't matter. What you're eating is carbs, carbs and more carbs. You're not going to lose weight if you continue eating all those carbs and a revision won't help you out either.

Check out the RNY Daily Menu thread and refamiliarize yourself with the bariatric diet....

I would lie to think you are being sarcastic but I am very afraid you are serious.

Eatong this way you will NEVER lose and maintain an appropriate weight no matter what surgery you have.

I cant help you, I am sorry.

Any advice? Thanks

eat high protein low carb. Aim for 60-90 gas of protein a day and the least amount of carbs preferably less than 20 gas. Eat very limited non carb vegetables.

dronk a minimum of 64 oz of sugar free liquid a day. Take your vitamins.

What does a days menu look like for you now.

Topic: RE: Need help!

I did the 5 day reset test and It worked for me. It basically helped with my cravings for sugar and bad carbs. I also had my rny 08/2009 and have regained 20lbs. I am down 10 lbs so 10 more for me till I reach my goal weight. I grazed all day with junk food. I mean all day. You can do this. It's hard but if you go back to the basics you will loss weight. Please check with your doctor thou. Alot of people out there says it doesn't work but I helped me get back on track. I do the 5 day reset like 2 x a month. It's been almost a month since I haven't had any junk food such as pies, cakes, crackers, candies, bread and pastas. It worked for me. Good luck and hope all goes well. I know it's very depressing. well, at least it was for me. I'm back on track and now went back to my food journal and portion control. I weigh my food now and I do not eat anything over 2 oz. I mainly eat alot of vegetables, very little fruit. because i know my pouch still works I blend mines. I know it goes right through me but at least i have nutrients from it.

I have moved over from standard low carb to the Keto diet. The higher fat diet is very satisfying and curbs most of my boredom eating.
