Folks. I know I come here and post every couple of days about my cravings, but I don't know what else to do. I feel like I'm going to buy a slice of pizza, take a bite and toss the rest when I'm out walking my dog.

I'm legit hungry all the time and there's no way I'm going to successfully resist temptation by just gritting my teeth. It's been constant. No relief from hunger at all. Today's day 12.

Also, when i eat cottage cheese or yogurt or some other tide me over fat free soft treat, my weight loss either stalls or goes up the next day. Called my nutritionist about it last Friday, she told me to drink one fewer protein shake a day so i show good numbers at my first weigh in.

Frigging losing it.

called my nutritionist. she cleared me for fish, eggs and soft cheeses. 1/3 of a plate of eggwhites later, I'm FINE. Thank God.

Yay!!!! So glad your NUT had some answers for you and unfortunately some people never lose the hunger sensation. Eat as close to plan as you can for the best outcome and safe journey!

Have you thought about a pizza "replacement" - bear with me. Maybe take pizza sauce and some low fat cheese, along with (very soft) vegetables and bake them? It would not be the same thing as you won't have crust, but you'll have everything else.

I posted a recipe a few days ago that I find a great replacement for pizza and other pasta dishes. It has Ricotta, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella, marinara, one egg, and a few spices. You eat it with a spoon, but I look forward to it every day. If you break it down into the servings, then each one is right around 150 calories, about the same as a protein drink.

I was really missing my staples probably around where you're at, but now I seem to be fine without them. I can't explain it other than I suppose I wrapped my head around it finally.

When I got to soft foods I made this:

Just be careful of the toppings

What do u suggest to replace carbs like breads, pastas, and potatoes. And still get the full feeling from eating them

Sounds good! Could you post another link, please? I tried to find it in your previous posts, but was unsuccessful.

Thanks!
