Friend,
One piece of advice that may not make you very happy, but try to avoid the roller coaster of refined sugars.
I have learned that my system is so sensitive to sugar now. I used to just start grabbing for sweets and salty foods. Try to keep your blood sugar steady. If you get a hunger rush eat almonds, fruit and raw veggies.
I am doing so much better when I avoid processed foods, even sugary salsd dressings.
Please let us know how you are doing. We do all care.
We may all be in the same boat, but we don't have to sink the ship!
