I just moved up to a half a cup how do i get out the cravings and not thinking about eating junk food this has been the hardest for me... its starting to stress me out cause I feel like I cant get my lil bit of weight off... how do people just eat there three meals and two snacks and be done... Please help me!!! I was so good at it but now that I am almost 8 months out and now I'm ready to eat but I still can't eat a lot... is that normal ...

No junk food is great! Remember one day at a time!

Yes it so hard now if i can get my workout and eat right

I'm glad I found this thread. I realized that I am an addict. Not drugs or cigarettes but food, something that one cannot abstain from. My work environment is hell for a food addict. They bring cookies and candies and cakes and that's not including the pot lucks. I am stalling and realized I started eating things I wasn't before. I'm going to make a choice now to beat this demon. I am going to the grocery store and only going to buy meat and vegetables and a little fruit, nuts and low fat dairy for snacks. I can and WILL do this. So you are not alone....

Its so hard then i get tired of eating the samething!!! what does yall meals consist of do yall just eat 3meals and 2 snacks

Yes I do 3 meals 2 Snacks. And lots of water! My problem was the snacking increased . I had more time to snack because my back injury limited my exercise plan. To be honest, I also got kind of depressed that I was in pain too. I've got to work on that emotional eating thing.

My meal plan tomorrow will be something like this: 2 hard boiled egg whites only and half Protein shake for Breakfast, half an apple or some carrots with low cal ranch for mid morning snack. Homemade 4oz turkey chili with reduced fat sour cream for lunch, mini babybel light cheese and about 6 almonds for snack , 2 to 3 oz chicken breast with about 2 oz of green Beans for dinner.

I mix it all up and do different but similar meals every day. When I stick to the pan and can exercise, the weight comes off with no problems....

I still be hungry after my 3 meals and two snacks i eat either 4 ounces of chicken or some kind of meat and vegetables... so you only eat two ounces of vegetables with meat

I think the amount you consume depends on how far out you are from surgery. I personally feel you must remove the triggers to get some kind of control. If you are truly hungry feed your body some type of protein- I have tried drinking skim milk and waiting to see if that helps. 3 meals is what my NUT told me to aim for- since grazing will lead to weight gain. As you can tell that hasn't been what I've done lately! On a good day a Protein shake made with milk for breakfast- lunch about 2oz chicken breast chopped up in lettuce tomato carrots, with regular salad dressing- dinner 3oz pork chop with green Beans and about 1/4c of mashed pot. If hungry in between some Greek yogurt! I think I feel hungry when I am truly just thirsty... I have read that if you have all of your protein in for the day and you still feel hungry, drinking something will help. Be prepared have high protein food in your house. So when you go for something it will satisfy you longer. The sugar craving are getting better for me with each day I avoid them!

Hi, how far out from surgery are you? Addictions are terrible however they can be overcome! We can do this together! If I fail today that doesn't mean I will fail tomorrow! I am trying hard to take it one day at a time! I will not be a slave to food!

Im im almost 7most

Congratulations on making it a few days. Lately with the cooler weather coming, I forget to drink Water. The thirst and hunger mechanisms feel the same. I have to watch myself, because when I think I am hungry, I am really thirsty.

Hi, I am about 4 months out. I know I can beat this. Lets do take this one day at a time and gain control. Thanks for your support!

I can eat more tan the two ounces but I try not to because I can feel overly full. I feel like I am stretching my poor little pouch so I'm going back to measuring. Also I drink a full 8 oz of Water 30 min before I eat. That helps with my portion control. Good luck Hun!
