  1. I usually stop before I am full. I eat half cup meals 3 times a day. I find a nice cup of decaf helps me if I start getting hungry or I get up and do something. The nurse told me some people are just always hungry. I can't say my meals make me feel full for 4 hours. I just find ways to deal with it or have a small snack like jello, v8,coffee also I drink tons of water and crystal light. It never hurts to check with the doctor if you feel something is wrong or not working right.
  2. Am on iPad and I can't figure out how to join a thread. Can someone please help me? Any other site tips are welcome. Thank you in advance. Helen

    Gas Prices, What Is Yours?

  6. I so feel your pain. I swear by Crystal Light Fruit Punch. I love it. Unfortunately you just have to keep trying different things until you find one that works for you. I can't say that I dont ever miss my diet coikes, but it gets better every day. Hang in there.
  7. Congrats on your exciting journey! My advice is to practice chewing a lot and eating slowly. Dont drink 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after a meal and stop all carbonated drinks. Also if you are not exercising maybe start walking. I am sure you will get some more suggestions, but whatever you are supposed to after try working them in now. Best of luck to you!
  8. I understand people not wanting to tell others.. For me I think it would be hard to hide. I was told by my doctor to carry measuring cups with me so I could measure my food wherever I am not to mention how long it takes me to eat such a small portion. Of course I am only allowed 1/2 cup a meal so it is probaby more obvious for me the most of you.

    Yes Im Over Weight But...

    Several Years ago I was at a bar with my brothers and some of their friends and some guys came up to me and asked If i could settle a bet. They had bet how much I weighed. I never told anyone this. My brothers knew they upset me but not why. They chased the guys out of the bar. I have great brothers!

    I never had problems taking my pills. i just took them one at at time instead of all at once like i normally do. Helen
  15. Have been told to eat 3 half cup meals and one snack if needed. All I see on this site is one cup meal. Anyone else eating half cup?

    Unfill For Convience????

    I don't think that is a good idea. Just my opinion. I just skip meals that tempt me too much. Not worth it and I cant afford the extra money for doctors so I can break plan. Just typing this it seems pretty crazy.
