Help!

I am almost 7 months post op and I feel like I'm falling off of my rocker. I found that it's so easy to eat junk food it goes down so smooth and that's a BIG PROBLEM!! If anyone has any recipes or meal plans that can help me out I would greatly appreciate that! I've lost 60lbs another 20 more to reach my goal and I don't want to keep myself from getting there! Thanks so much everyone. 

Best advice I can give you is get back to basics, do not under any cir****tances eat goodies until you are at goal; there is lots of time for those in maintenance. You have done it for 60 lbs you can do it for another 20 lbs.

Good Luck!

Im also 7 months out.  Just go back to the way you were eating when you were losing! Stay away from the junk!!  

hmm, if I found myself in that situation, my immediate plan of attack would be to get rid of any and all junk food in the house (including things like crackers and protein bars) and to either join or get back into myfitnesspal and make it an absolute rule that I log EVERYTHING I eat, no matter what it is. Those would be my starting points. Then, back to the basics:

--three small meals, start with lean protein, then green veggies and fruits. No starches!

--two snacks, either lean protein or green veggies

--commit to staying under 800 calories per day.

The specifics of what you eat will depend on what kinds of food you like and what is available to you. For me it would mean things like salmon, turkey burgers (no bun, just meat), shrimp, deli meat, Babybel cheeses, scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, and small amounts of beans, roasted edamame, and nuts.

Good luck to you!

Sounds like you're on the right track by realizing what you are doing before you completely sabotage yourself. Good for you! If it were me, I'd take a few days to carb detox. It makes getting back to business SO much easier. For the next 48 hours FOCUS on protein. If you have to use shakes, do it. When I detox, I have a shake for breakfast, something straight protein like crab meat for lunch(I like the imitation flake style stuff that comes in a little packet) with a tiny bit of butter for flavor (like half a tablespoon). Then more straight protein for dinner - like a burger in a lettuce wrap (easy on the condiments that contain sugar). For a snack during the day, I might do some string cheese and a few pepperonis or something like that.

Of course, do what works for you, but I find that if I spend a day or two completely focused on protein, the carb cravings go away MUCH quicker and it's easier to stay on track. I've cycled through this process probably a dozen times and it works like a charm for me. 

Best of luck! You've got this!!

Ditto!

What's wrong with the plan that got you to lose the first 60? It's very odd how after we lose a bunch of weight we start looking for another program. I've done it too. But we got down to where we are because of an effective approach. Stick with it. It works.
