I was just wondering if this is common for everyone.

I was banded in May and currectly have 2cc's in my band (9.75 band)

It seems like at night I can eat so much more.

The morning time, I can only drink a Protein shake.

At lunch I can eat a small meal.

But at dinner it seems like I can eat more...

As the day goes on, my appitite get bigger - is this normal?

Thanks IndioGirl. Yep, the age is right :eek: lol. For the most part, i drink protien shakes during the day and then binge like crazy at night. My restriction fluxuates like crazy...

I'm not that great at cooking, so please tell me, what veggies do you boil and for how long? and does this satisfy you/your hungar?

Hey, you look great. I am always eating what I feel like is a pig at night too! I am way too tight in the am. alway pb'ing in the am. Just get your protein in by using shakes during the day but be careful for too many liquid calories.

Thanks, i'll definately try that! WASaBubbleButt, how do you cook the veggies and do you season them?

I cook them by going to Panda Express and ordering a side of Mixed Veggies. :eek: 80 calories and they are great.

I am a really horrible cook.

Isabella, would you please please please check out this thread? I think you are the one person here that could offer the most.

Thanks!

Isabella -

I love yellow crooked neck squash - zuchinnee (sp) - I mix these 2 togerther - I am not a cook who really times or measure (grew up cooking and loving food = hence why i am fat) but i would say for 15 -20 minutes. I also love brussel sprouts - spinach - carrots - califlower

I just cook until done (soft) drain and spray and yes they help with night hunger - and they way i look at it you are getting alot fewer calories eating vegges than you doing eating mash potatoes -

I think that most of the time that we do not accept that we are full we just want to continue to eat cuz it taste good - it's that way for me - I have to really stop myself alot as my tummy is truely full but i want to keep eating... it's hard to distingush between the two sometime...

Do you live on your own?? Is that your baby?? - I was a young mom too that's why i ask...

...on occasion when I've really felt like pigging out on something that happens to be in the house, I've eaten an apple....

That's my newest trick--I slice a tart apple (Granny Smith or Macintosh) paper-thin, then salt the heck out of it. A healthy alternative to potato chips.:hungry:

No, i don't live on my own.. i live with my parents and that is me with my baby cousin in California.. lol i don't really have any other pics of me because i always use to stay clear of the camera. :eek:

Thanks for the cooking advice! I like fending for myself.. i'd rather cook them than have my mom do it. I'm pretty independant

Yes I know how independent you 16 yrs olds are - I was there once myself - infact i had my own place and have been on my own since I was 16 . I have a grandson who lives with me and he's 16 too - He thinks he's grown half the time.:eek:.. I can't beleive I am doing this a 2nd time...

I thnk it's great that you are independent - you will make a fine young lady who will be strong and knows what she wants...

Good luck to you on your journey to become healthly.... cuz you are beautiful as you were...
