Hey every one. Well I got a call from my drs office today and they said the dr would be out of town for another week and I have to come in on the 9 of july . They have changed it twice now. I was suppose to go in on the 18 of june but he was going out of town so they changed it to the 25 of june which was not to bad but then they called and said he got delayed and that he was so backed up that it would be july 9 which by the way was suppose to be my 4th fill which now will be my third. I guess I have to just grin and bear it. I am doing ok but I am getting hungry way to quick. I am trying to keep my self busy so I dont think about food so much. I think some of it or alot of it is just in my head. Does any one else have any suggestions for the head hunger. Well I think I will go and walk for a bit. It seems like I am watching the clock so I can eat my next meal. That is so sad isnt it. I really have to work on that. :thumbup:

    Keep in mind that everything happens for a reason..when you go in on the 9th..that is the date you should get a fill..not before.

    As for the head hunger..I try to stay as busy as I can. I stay online on this website (or facebook), clean my house, clean out a closet, read a book, take a walk..anything that can distract me from thinking about food. Another thing I do (I know this sounds crazy) but I go thru cook books or surf online for recipes I would like to make (www.recipezaar.com). When I go online I type in requirements of low calories, high protein..there are thousands of recipes to sort thru. The point is that it takes up time. Also, we started playing a game with the recipes..there are people in my household from 3 yrs old to 69 yrs old..we voted on the recipe..how long it took me to make it, how it tasted and if everyone wanted to have it again. It spruced up my diet, took up time and my family thinks it is fun.

    Recipes are good, another suggestion is to go to the library and find books or cookbooks and spend time at the library browsing? I try to do anything to stay away from my kitchen.

    Thanks for the website, Finally :-).

    Take care of yourself until the fill, it will come soon enough :-)

    great advice!!! I have been trying to stay busy even started doing yard work. That helps with exercise also. I really need to take one day at a time and stop thinking about the time I have to wait, and focus on here and now. That is hard for me to do.lol
