Hello all, I am progressing nicely but I am having some struggling moments and thought I would seek help. First, I am feeling hungry every hour on the hour, I can take it throughout the day but at night it literally wakes me up and I don't want to eat bad, so what are you guys snacking on at night that is healthy? Also for the women who have monthly cravings, what are you guys snacking on?

Thanks for any input!!!

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of Soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

High Protein snacks! Cottage cheese, ham and cheese rolls, a few bites of a Quest Protein Bar,

It am almost three months post op and my monthly cravings are awful I eat bad each time.

Next month I am going to make a fruit and yogurt smoothie and see if that helps my sweet tooth because Cookies and chocolate will kill me in the long run.

My program doesn't allow Snacks. Are you on a PPI? My doctor keeps trying to take me off mine, but without it, the acid sure mimics hunger.

If I have a very light lunch (like today I had maybe a couple tablespoons of tuna), I might have a spoonful of nut butter (sunflower seed butter) a couple of hours later.

If you are hungry within an hour of eating it might be acid and/or thirst. Are you staying hydrated?

Otherwise, if you snack, make sure you plan for high Protein Snacks and record them.

I like string cheese, cheese, cottage cheese, Protein pudding, Protein Bars, etc.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
