Still Hungry!

[scorrea 95]

I am still hungry. I have had two fills, I am at 5cc and about 2 hours after I eat, I am hungry again. My stomach is painfully growling. I am getting better at not eating too much between meals. Its not good enough. At least I dont think so. I dont know if I should call my doc on Monday or not.

Should I just try more willpower for a bit? Or should I call and ask? He told me to stick to a liquid and mushy diet with tiny small Snacks when hungry. I dont think its cutting it. Am I just complaining when I should just "man" up and deal with it? Is this just part of the challenge?

Before I had adequate Fluid in my band to kill the hunger, I concentrated on calories. I knew I could stay to a cup or less of food but there was no way I could go 4-5 hours without eating. I was way too hungry.

So, I spread out my daily calorie budget so I could eat every 2 hours. For me, it worked, because I was eating smart and low calorie but I wasn't starving either.

It takes time to get to that perfect point. I remember thinking "this thing is not working for me". I ate several small meals a day until I hit that green zone. Just make sure your meals consist of some good Protein.< /p>

When I have to eat something between meals I opt for sugar free Jello or turkey Jerky. both are low calorie Snacks. Sometimes I think just chewing on the jerky for a while makes the hunger go away.
