I lost 85 pounds almost 12 years ago. Maintaining about an 80 lb weight loss all these years. Except pregnancy and nursing gained some weight. Stayed on healthy eating plan but during nursing was a little heavier. I am a member of overeater's anonymous.

Are you allowed carbs and sugars? What OA plan do you follow.

I refrain from eating sugar unless it is listed as 5th ingredient or after on the ingredients list. I eat carbs breakfast, lunch and dinner! Oats, oatbran, potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown or wild rice, barley, kasha, quinoa, whole wheat bread or crackers, etc.

It seems my choice is to cut out sugar forever or get the surgery. |
I think you already know what you need to do. I think this is a case if having to choose your hard.

Ya. I'm pretty terrified though. I've fought this for so so so long.

Have you tried intermittent fasting?
I am obese and have done yo yo dieting for years.
I have pcos.
I lost about 40 lb on intermittent fasting and have maintained it for about 2 years so far.

What was your IF window and were you careful about your overall food intake as well?

Five plus years ago I’d never have believed that this feeling of freedom would exist. I’ve said it before that all the things aligned with me so when I started, I ate no sugar, no sweetener, no starch or fruit or grain. No one could have been more surprised than me when all the sudden I was peaceful and calm about food for the first time ever in forty five years. It’s a leap of faith but if I can do it anyone can. I had no idea that this would even be helpful in such a way.
