Question:
Would do post op think about taking carb blockers to block carb cravings?

I am 10 months out and I have carb graving driving me crazy. I have heard and seen advertisements about carb blockers. I wanted to know if any other post ops have taken them or what you might think. I was at my century club but gained 4 lbs back so I am at 163. I do try and follow my diet. I take double the amount of vitamin and double water and exercise. I know for sure its the carbs thats holding me up. Any advice is apprecitated. Thanks in advance.    — Chris9672 (posted on January 10, 2003)

I am no expert here, but I would worry about taking carb blockers. We can not eat that much anyway and we need to get all we can from the foods we eat. You have lost so much and probably know more about this than I do, but I had WLS so I wouldn't have to take fad diet pills any more. You have been strong and have proven success. You can handle this without taking over the counter pills. If they were the answer, none of us would have needed this surgery. Good Luck.
