I will tell you what works for me. I pretend that I had surgery yesterday and I have to start taking ONLY protein drinks, water, and such, just like a new weight loss patient. It opens up the "window of opportunity" for me and I immediately start losing like before. I even lose the desire to eat anything bad. Within a day or two I have lost any excess weight I gained and I have the desire to continue a good eating plan. Although some may say that the "window" of opportunity is only available for the first 6-9 months after surgery, I believe it is always with you because the pounch does not go back to being a stomach, all we need to learn is how to use it. Good luck to you. Missy

You already know that the answer is to stop eating junk! Surgery only is a tool; we need to do the rest!Good luck!

I too got off track and realize it isn't hunger - it's appetite - eating and craving without being hungry, but the appetite is overwhelming. I started reading posts here and decided to go on 3 day at a time protein diets. I lost 6 pounds this week - and I'm almost 2 years out! I had 1/2 c. cottage cheese with splenda, cinnamon and pecans for breakfast; 1/4 cup soy nuts for am and pm snacks; an atkins shake for lunch and some beef stroganoff (no noddles, rice etc) for dinner; and a slice of colby cheese for evening snack. Lots of crystal lite and decaf tea (and OK a diet pepsi). It still works! I feel so hopeful finding this out. And when you stop eating the junk, the huge craving for it goes away. Just set it up and try it for one day. Good luck!!! You can do it too!!
