The months before Opti
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.
