June Post Ops!

[Pr1ncessJulee 116]

You can't deny yourself everything. You'll go crazy. I still occasionally have pizza or even a cookie. Why? Because if I don't one day I'm going to binge.

But now it's a slice or two of pizza - not half of a pizza. And it's one cookie - not half a dozen.

Thank you. I'm feeling better today. Allot of walking. Must want to make sure i haven't stretched pouchy. Today shakes and Soups. Tomorrow back to the plan...just going to watch my portions.

I just hit my Protein goal for the day without any protein supplement! My nutritionist wanted me to start weaning off the shake and today it was possible! It will be hard to do on work days since I had the time to cook a protein rich Breakfast and lunch, but it's one step closer to no more protein shakes!

Fellow Junies-- I need advice. I'm battling serious head hunger lately. It feels like I'm ravenous, sometimes right after eating. I'm getting all my Protein and doing well otherwise. Help!

Hi Lisa

There could be a physical reason for the hunger. My clinic has told us that at about 7 to 8 months the nerves around our pouch that signal hunger, begin to function normally again. This is why for the first 6 months my clinic has such a very strict eating plan, they want to take full advantage of this time when we are not feeling physical hunger. I don't think most of us are at 7 months yet, but I am sure this is based on averages, so I am sure there are some people that face it sooner. I would recommend a call to your NUT to see what they would suggest.

If it is head hunger, then RJ's advice could not be better. The only thing I would add is that is when I sometimes am able to down a big glass of Water. The water fills me up until the head hunger passes. The smell of food, like pizza, chocolate, and frying bacon, really get to me! Keep up the good fight!

I just want to tell everyone thank you for all the support. I honesty don't think I could be doing this without y'all. I'd be totally lost.

I have no family, except my kids and very few friends. None of my friends have gone through this and would have no clue about the struggles we face almost daily.

So again...thank you!

Speaking of new clothes... Has anyone noticed they need to buy smaller shoes? I wore a pair of boots last night from last winter.. They were too big in the calves, no biggie i tucked my jeans into them. But as the night went on my feet started to hurt and I think it is because the shoes are now too wide for my feet... crazy! Time for new boots!
