I haven't had to take my prevacid for over a month!!!! WOOHOOO

I'm also stalled with the losing... I know I'm eating too much, I just need a kick in the butt. I need to slow down while eating. I need to eat before I get so hungry, because that's when I eat too fast. Turning the tv off during meals is a pain, I can't get DH to do it, and our kitchen table is opposite the tv. Excuses, excuses. I need to eat less. I'm thinking of breaking my dr's rules... he would prefer I have 3 meals a day (1 cup each) with no Snacks, but my stomach gurgles and growls all day- so loud others can hear, I get light headed and cranky. I need to put a healthy snack between meals or have 6 smaller meals a day.

What do you do?

I am only 4 days out of surgery but my Dr.'s notes read that if I am hungry in between meals (when I get them) I should have some fruit no more than 150 calories.

I too, came from syracuse, New York 6 years ago. We moved here to arizona for my husband's health. I am to goal with losing 90 pds and no fills. Never had too much hunger until recently. I am very tight in morning and just have a SF pudding for breakfast, everything else would get stuck this early. I get very hungry by 9:00 - 10:00 so I have been having some peanuts to hold me until lunchtime. They are a good source of protein and seem to hold me to noon. I am good the rest of the day and evening. Maybe some sort of protein between meals in a small amount will keep you from getting so starved. Good luck and keep up the good work.
