I've Been Gone for Awhile

Hello BOTT,

I've been gone for it seems like forever.  I'm 7 years post-op and I'm at a point in my journey where I feel I need to be here. Experiencing things that I'm sure that others have also experienced...like being hungry, dealing with everyday temptations and eating things I know I shouldn't.  Hopefully I can get back on track and stay healthy.

Hi...

A few tips what works for me :

Decarbing and eating low carbs keeps my cravings away.  

Eating often - every 2-3 hours  keerpos my portion small and keeps my BS stable.

When I dont drink enough in between meals - I tend to feel hungry - even though I may be just thirsty.

Artificial sweeteners - like splenda or asparteme stimulates my appetite, but stevia or saccharin do not do that to me

I don't trust "net carb" numbers of product - due to my sensitivity to carbs - any carb is a crab - even so called fiber.

SA makes me very uncomfortable

And last one- fruits are full of natural sugars so I try to limit portions and stay away from most of it (I get severe RH) except berries. I eat 1-4 servings of berries per week. 

we're here to help.

Thank you so much ladies for your replies.  I will take all advice and store it in my memeory banks.  I have a few friends that wanted me to join with them using this Personal Trainer ($390.00 a month) and go on a special diet when I have the tools I need right here inside of me.  I am back here where I need to be.  Thanks again.
