Hi, I struggle with wanting to eat a lot lately too.  I have lost 65 lbs in the last 2 years...45 in the last year just eating healthy.  But now, all of a sudden I crave food like crazy.  I think it is like a one year itch...never seems to quite go away.  I have also been under  a lot of stress but do see a counsellor about it.  I've been told my clinic tolerates no weight gain at all.  So that has me scared...but in the realm of things I often have the cravings and have not gained anything back....YET.  My suggestiong is to start slowly like others have mentioned.  When I started my healthy eating I was addicted to McD's smoothies.  So I cut them out a little at a time.  To cut them off cold turkey just made me want them more.

I have found other's comments on here very helpful to myself as well.  And thank you for posting and opening up the discussion.  I find when you're pre-op that support is so helpful from others who have been through the same thing.

kiss Sue

I have treated these last weeks like the Mardi Gras! and I have gained an additional 16 pounds to show for it! I feel terrible and am ashamed. I did not need to "say good-bye" to my worst foods because they were the worst foods! Keep eating clean. You won't regret it! (I start opti on Thursday)
