OMG in 6 mo. you can eat many of these things. This morning I had Breakfast with my sister and I had the special egg, bacon and pancakes I ate the egg one bacon and a few bites of pancake with sugar free Syrup. This is not a typical breakfast for me but once in a while I can induge if I want. The amazing thing is I eat a little I am satisfied and 8 mo. ago I would have eaten everything probably a larger portion choice! This is not a diet we are on it's a new way of thinking, feeling, and yes we become more conscious of what we need to put in body Protein, veg, then carb.but once in a while we can indulge just a little! Good luck!

I make mine with ground turkey and eat the filling first maybe 1 or 2 bites with tortilla but that is all it takes to make me satisfied! Gotta have spice in your life once in a while!

I was put on Byetta with my oral meds. for diabetes it did seem to help with the hunger issue but it did not help my diabetes I had to start insulin in the evenings. I have a friend who said it helped her diabetes prob. but she is still overweight. On a happier note since I was sleeved Jan. 20th I don't have to take any diabetic meds Yeah!!

My daughter in law has 5 kids she has a special diet so she puts leftovers etc. in a container for the next day and labels it mom's hands off!! seems to work for her.

30 years ago my sister in law had a gastrectomy because she had a large bleeding ulcer they took over 1/2 her stomach she did very well but the ulcers persisted and she eventually had another gastrectomy and had the rest of her stomach removed she did well even without her stomach! Partial removal of stomachs has been around for many years just was done for other reasons ie; ulcers, cancers. Before they realized how well it works for weight loss and someone did a study!

For me about 6 - 8 weeks. At first I had lotsa gas even though I took previcid each day and gasx 4 times a day and my left side felt swollen n very sore at that time life and liquid food was yuck. When food started to be reg and I could then tell a small amt. of solid food filled me up and I felt satisfied with 1/3C at meals and the scale showed me the weight dropping off I also was able to stop all meds for diabetes and cut down on High blood pressure meds then I could say life is good!

When I am out with others I usually count as I chew this keeps me from being so far ahead in my eating than the others I tend to eat faster if I don't pay attention and I put my fork down once in a while. Be sure to put some Protein Bars or nuts etc.snacks you can eat in your pack or other peoples pack when u go into disneyworld don't rely on being able to find Snacks u can have inside and drink, drink, drink, gets humid and sometimes hot there. Have a great time!

I think probably your hormones are kicking in big time but you r one in 1,000 of us who have these feeling every so often. I am almost 4 months out and I go out and eat quite often i order reg meals take some home or several of my favorite sides I and eat tablespoons of each maybe take some home. I went on a camp out with friends and ate a little bit of each food from potato salad to Pasta salad and grilled meats. In a few months you will be able to enjoy all your favorites just in smaller amts. The difference is the small amts. will be more satisfing and the scale will make you so much happier and healthier than you have ever felt! Be happy! Better days are coming. (I find myself gulping down drinks it doesn't hurt anymore but I have to remind myself to go slow)

Head hunger is the worst I will open the frig. at least 10 times a day and think I'm not even hungry! I found a Nature Valley Protien bar at costco it a Peanut Butter dark choclate bar has 10gm protien and 14carbs with peanuts and crunchies tastes too good to be healthy I eat half in afternoon and half after dinner cause of course I always need dessert after dinner!!

Fluids are most important try mixing 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 Water keep it by you and sip it I couldn't drink real cold drinks for awhile but everyone is different. How about popsicles and Jello all are fluids. This won't last long don't worry about the nutritional part we all can live a little while off what we have stored up in our body.

I was told with each stage of my diet not to eat more than 1/3C. at each meal so I use a measuring cup after a while you can visualize it when you are out eating. Stay away from rice, Pasta, and breads they don't digest well and they are empty calories anyway. eat protien first then veg. then fruit Good luck!

Don't forget Peanut Butter it comes in individual containers now for a quick snack with celery or ?

I regret I didn't do it 15 yrs. ago! It got rid of my diabetes and I feel so much better!
