Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I had a sleeve April 1, 2022 and lost 100 pounds and am approximately a size 4-6. I am so grateful that I have been able to have this surgery but it has been so hard for me emotionally and I still struggle with food issues, obsessive food thoughts, overeating, erratic eating. It is two years later and now I'm just really struggling with eating late evening or middle of the night nighttime snacks-things like toast and crackers or snacks that I normally wouldn't eat and things my doctor doesn't want me to eat. I almost find that it is similar to a rebound effect after I have dieted in the past. So I have gained about 10 pounds and am worried I will gain more if I don't gain control of my eating struggles. Does anyone relate and/or have any advice for me. I'd like to keep no bread in the house, etc but I have a husband and daughter that eat and so I'm not sure how to deal with it. My doctor gave me a choice of the bypass, the switch or the sleeve and now I wish I would have gone with the bypass or switch just because I'm struggling so much. Would love to hear from others and experience with carb/snack cravings and how you deal with it.
