Congrats on the foster baby. How wonderful for you to do something like that. That tells me you are a caring human being, so you have to learn to care for yourself.

If you are that hungry in the afternoon, you are possibly not drinking enough fluids during the day. Have you tried sugar free ice pops or sugar free jello/pudding? How about string cheese?

I wish you and your extended family a lot of luck. Make time for yourself - let the hubs stay with the children and get back to the gym. Keep making yourself healthier - if not for you, for the 3 little ones. Good luck.

Yup..Me!! So restricted until late noon..but luckly im not feeling the hunger.I do have a snack between lunch and dinner and when I get home from work I have a sugar free pop...Try a protien bar for a snack I have a myoplex lite peanut caramel crisp and lots of water or your fav drink..Best of luck to you and your family.

Hi! I am the same way except for me I am super restricted until about 6 oclock...then I can eat. Some days I don't even try to eat anything besides yogurt or milk before then. After 6 I am still restricted but not to the point of getting stuck. It's so weird! I have had one fill 5cc in a 10 cc band...After the baby comes I am gonna try for one more small fill. Hope all goes well for you, you are so close to onederland!!! Keep it up and keep us posted! PS Congrats on the new addition
