Last year when it got hot, I had something similar; it was as if I was getting tighter. I got to a point were if it went down it came back up. It went on till I went to doc (DH made me do it) and he did an unfill. He said I had irriated my throat with a bad vomit session and should have done liquids then mushies over a week to give it time to heal. Well we are in triple digits again and the tightness started, so I have been taking it very easy; some days I can only do protein drinks till diner and then 3 or 4 forkfulls and I'm done, this time I am listening to what the body says. I am not loosing, I am seldom hungry; if fact when I do eat the little I think I can...it makes me hungry . About 20 minutes after eating I feel the hunger, where is it coming from? How can I not be hungry until I eat Seeing doc on Fri. I won't let him do an unfill and I hope he does a fill. At the very least he needs to give me some answeres. My big deal is the hidden cals in liquids, I am a coffee junkie with the flavored creamers.

I have had this feeling as well -- It seems I need to stick to smoothies and yogurt in the early morning, have a small meal (no bread) at lunch, and then usually vegetable soup or something similar in the evening. This pattern seems to work for me. Also always small bites and chew a lot -- eat very slowly with all foods. Good luck.
