lrs 33 Posted September 14, 2013 be careful because of mind hunger. I found that I wasn't really hunger it was my mind so I would get busy doing something and if the hunger didn't go away I ate some yogurt, popsicles, pudding, Jello.< /p> 1 J.Diesel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to get on top of this sooner rather than later. Thanks 1 lrs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 14, 2013 Yes it's normal for many of us. We've been on pre-ops, we're eating nothing now. Our bodies are starving and they let us know. While some feel no hunger, many of us seem to feel hungry when it's time to eat. The saving grace for now seems to be that a little food satisfies us, and we don't seem to need to eat for another little while. As you are able to eat more, you will be able to go longer between mini-meals. I'd suggest that you track total calories and don't exceed your guidelines, and other than that, don't worry about it. 2 J.Diesel and lrs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beach Lover 1,084 Posted September 14, 2013 Another culprit is acid. Are you taking an acid reducer? If not you might want totalk to your doctor about it. I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Acid can make you feel really hungry when you really aren't. 2 lrs and J.Diesel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have suggestions for a simple app for the tracking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, there's a thread here with people's MFP names, and it's fun to add others and see what people further long are eating by peeking at their diaries 1 J.Diesel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
