Need Major help with Carb Control

Had a slip repositioned in July.  Dr. Spivak wants to take it slow, so I can't get a fill until mid-December.  I have been going crazy and Halloween didn't help and now Thanksgiving!  Any suggestions to carb detox?  5 Day Pouch Test?  Plateau Busters?  Help

The best thing that I have found for me is IF I am going to eat things that aren't exactly healthy then I measure it out AHEAD of time. If the serving size says 14 crackers, then I put 14 crackers in a ziplock bag and put the rest of it away. If I told myself I'd never allow myself to eat another piece of candy, etc I'd probably eat so much of it that I'd explode. I CAN however control the portions I allow myself. Before surgery I'd eat 6 cookies, now I'm content with one or two...etc. To me its not about deprivation but portion control.  

This is what works for me.  I recognize others believe in all things in moderation.  That does not work for me personally.  Carbs are a huge trigger.  So I do not eat anything white, i.e., rice, read, pasta, potatoes...  I do eat whole grain saltines, and I am presently struggling with them.  I know if I would eliminate them from my diet, my cravings would cease.  Also, if I know something riggers me, I eat it at night as a snack prior to going to bed. I fall asleep and don't deal with the cravings.  I had to take that approach with watermelon.  I can only eat it late; otherwise, it causes me to want to graze.  No white carbs, etc., has been very beneficial for keeping me on task.

Can I ask what your symptoms were with the slip?
