4.5 years post OP, I was doing fine. Got lax with my sugar intake and snacking and gained about 10 pounds. Did keto for a year and got down to 125, felt great. Then I got really sick, turns out a kidney stone was blocking a tube and I got an infection. Had two months in bed and 3 surgeries. Lost all my muscles and appetite. To get me to eat, everyone was focused on "what sounds good" or bringing milkshakes. Once I was back on my feet my appetite came back BIG TIME. I have gained 25 pounds in a matter of months. I can't stop eating. My weight gain wasn't this bad before my surgery, it would take me 2 years to gain 25 pounds. I'm really feeling helpless and frustrated. I try to do keto again but I'll do great in the day and blow it at night because I have no macros left and I'm starving or the craving gets too bad and I cave in. I'm beyond scared. Any advice? I feel like there's got to be someone out there that went thru something similar. How did you start? What do I do? All I think about is food. I'm out of control. Help!!
