SweetJephy, welcome to Bandster Hell. I am right there w/you. This is the hard part, for me at least. My regular appetite has come back, but I have no restriction. I could honestly eat ANYTHING right now, but so far, I'm doing pretty well. I've been doing my best to hold off and stay in control. Of course, I've slipped up, but...guess what...you dust yourself off and keep moving forward.

Just try to keep the hunger at bay by keeping to a schedule, if possible. Also, avoid getting hungry in the first place. I do this by getting plenty of Protein in, both through my meals and my shakes in b/w meals.

Hope this helps!

I know it's rough, but hang in there. It's temporary.

<p>How about eating like a hypoglycemic during this time. Eat lots of SMALL meals....maybe eat about every two hours or so so you blood surgar doesn't fluctuate wildly. You can't eat much anyway...my doctor considered soft foods to include things like tuna. I had lots of tuna and cottage cheese because it gave me more of an illusion of chewing. Anyway....this too shall pass, but I know it's a pain in the butt right now.</p>
