Beginning again...
Hello again!!!
I am 4 years out from VSG. I have gained 30 lbs back because of uncontrolled carb eating. I am bound and determined to stop binging on the candy in the vending machine in my apt complex and the one at my temp job. I am going to stop keeping change and dollar bills on hand.
I want to lose most by the 25 th of may. My Florida vacation. I am never "hungry" per sae. So all of my weight gain is from emotional eating. I have coffee for breakfast and my eating is pretty good until 3:00 and after 7 pm. I have tried a few things to eat or drink when that craving begins. I am not going to drink chug a bottle of water when this happens. I hate myself for this weakness.
I would like to hear any pointers from you wow have overcame and lost the weight again. What are your daily plans? What do u prepare or eat or not eat and do instead at that 3:00 hour and that evening craving? What do you tale for lunch? Etc. all replies are welcomed!!

I would start my day with breakfast...more than coffee. I have a shake every morning still because its convenient and I like them...Chike Protein Coffee. Weekends, I spent time preparing food for the week. I pre-measure everything and put them in containers so I can grab and go. Go back to basics...protein first. Get your water in. Get rid of the carbs. I log my food everyday ahead of time and try not to deviate from my plan. I use myfitnesspal.com
You might also think about therapy to deal with the emotional eating.
Good Luck!

I am interested to hear responses. I am 2.5 years out and am up 11 lbs (6 of which have been in the last 2 months). I am having a hard time breaking the habits. The more I exercise the more ravenous I am so it defeats the purpose.
I have started Turbo Jam again, hitting my supplements hard, trying to add breakfast, avoid coke, and work on upping protein. Hoping it peels it back off.
Good luck!
