afternoon hunger....

[Secondchanceatlife 38]

Is it just me, or does anyone else get extremely hungry in the afternoons? And what do you do to not eat and stay on track? I'm at a plateau, and it's driving me nuts. Especially since I can't quit eating in the afternoons! I used to just have a Protein shake, but now I'm just way too hungry. Or bored..... AAAGGHHHH!!!!

If you're still hungry after an hour or two you probably could use a fill? Or, is it your eating demon egging you on? It's hard to tell the difference from head hunger and real hunger sometimes?

What is your Protein intake at each meal? When were you banded, and how many fills have you had? Is the hunger a new experience, or have you had it since been being banded?

if you are truly hungry, eat something (some fresh fruit or some yogurt) or some nuts..

that happens to me and i get me some apple slices or sf chocolate Jello

It isn't anything new by far, but had gotten better since I was banded June 12, 2012. I have 7 cc, since my last fill two weeks ago. But instead of getting better since my last fill, it has gotten worse. I'm so frustrated and confused right now....

The hot tea afternoon break calms the afternoon hunger devil for me. I have a chai tea bag with a dash of nf steamed milk and sf hazelnut Syrup. I buy a red tea chai since it is Decaf.

But I think the question about you needing a fill is more spot on.

That is strange. You've had the band for a while, so things should be settled, but you just got a fill, now at 7 CC and you are more hungry.

As hard as it is to believe, I vote you need another fill as others have said.
