I don't know what is wrong with me but for the past 2 days I have been wanted a bite of everything. I can go hours without eating something but then I get the urge to eat a few things at once. I am usually like this before my period but I don't start for another 2 weeks so I don't know if it's stress or happiness. Hmmm??? I just completed my masters program on Sunday and now I'm jumping into another school for my teaching credential and I am feeling overwhelmed, happy and anxious.. I just feel out of control and hungry. I am not eating big meals just Cookies, crackers, almonds or chips..:(

This is just me, but when I get like that and find myself grazing, I know it's time to "cheat". I find if I just eat whatever it is I really want, I get it out of my system. If I don't, I'll do exactly what you are doing, grazing on absolutely everything. In the end, I've done far more damage grazing than allowing myself a single cheat.

I allow myself one meal a month of whatever I want, i.e., I don't take fat, carbs, anything into consideration. It's my monthly meal cheat. I also allow myself one dessert a month, same as the meal. I find by allowing myself this I am able to have a lot more self control the rest of the time.

"I am not eating big meals just Cookies, crackers, almonds or chips"

Remove these from your house! And dont buy them if you are out. These are my triggers. Sounds like head hunger. If you must have a snack make it boring string cheese or chicken breast.

That's an excellent use of psychology...love it! I beelieve I will allow myself one "cheat food" for a meal every month!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
