Which surgery did you have?

Do you eat things with sugar?  I'm going to guess yes because generally eating things with sugar causes us to crave more.  That is why it is hard for me to have things with sugar in moderation.  That and the fact that I dump, which isn't fun.  Cut all things with sugar and see if that helps with the cravings.  It may take a few weeks but give it a try, also with the white carbs too, like bread and crackers.  If you avoid those things after you decarb the craving should be pretty much gone.  Some people have to avoid artificial sweeteners as well but fortunately I haven't had to.

I have found personally that if I use any type of sweetner, or eat or drink anything with sugar free sweeteners, sugar or corn syrup, I crave carbs. I gained back almost 40 pounds that are now coming back off after carb cleansing. I went back to drinking diet coke and gained all 40 pounds after that.
