I hear you Chattycat, I have been going through the same thing lately, and that is why I finally told myself I have to do the 5 day pouche test, which I started today.  One word of advice don't let your head get the best of you and cause you to give in….I did and that is why I ended up falling and found myself getting into the SUGAR, even though it made me sick to my stomach, shakey and very angry and irritable, I STILL DID IT, thinking that it was comforting me, when in actual fact it wasn't doing anything for me but making me crave it more and more, so now I am trying desperately to get all those horid cravings away from my head and trying to get back on track and back into tune with my pouche.  Funny you should mention that you are finding the evenings the hardest, I too am finding that and this is my worst time for getting into the CRAP and overeating when I am not even hungry…even though I tend to be busy and I try to keep myself busy, I just think that I have to eat something, sort of like I am feeling deprived, when really I am not…just like they say food for us BARIATRIC PATIENTS is an addiction and that is why we ended up having the surgery in the first place is because we can't control our addictions to food.  It is all a control issue is what I am finding.

Well I wish you all the best and I hope that we can all be of support to one another on this site, I know that I find just chatting with others who have come from where I have and have gone through the surgery gives me a lot of encouragement and also I find that I can share my feelings with these people as well because they understand and have been through the same issues that I have.
