I suspect you know the answer to this and know what you are supposed to be doing. Are you getting enough Water? If you are following the "rules" about not drinking for half an hour just before and after eating, and not drinking while eating, you can't both graze and drink enough water, can you? It's hard to break old habits, but if not now, when?

It's mostly in your mind to control yourself. After a couple episodes of throwing up after eating too much you learn what your full signals are and you learn to listen to them....or pay the price

As folks have said, you should be following the protocols. Part of that is no grazing. When we load ourselves up with Protein with our meals than it takes hours to be hungry again and you crave more protein. But if you graze on foods, even if they aren't crappy foods, you are going to eat a whole lot more than you ever wanted or intended too. So, maybe what you need to do is meal prep?? That way the meals are ready for you the moment you are hungry. Then you eat your protein rich meal, get full and satisfied and then move on.

Good Luck!!!!! I wish you all the success in the world!!!

I make sure I have a water bottle or a bottle with liquids around at all times. Every time I want to grab for something, I grab my Water bottle. I don't want to grab for food so much any more, but I want my bottle of water. Helps to get my liquids in, and I make sure I stay away from grazing.

Do you mean grazing or overeating at meals?

At meals, it can be tricky to learn our full signals. I stop before I think I'm done. Signs I've overdone it are a runny nose or a heavy feeling. I never drink when I eat. We shouldn't do both. We have room for one or the other.

Grazing is our downfall, and the single biggest cause of regain you'll see. Ask yourself why you're eating. If you're bored, occupy yourself. If you need to eat, make it a Protein snack like raw nuts, hardboiled eggs, or cheese. Not a slider food that's calorie laden and carb heavy.

Mindless eating is an old habit we have to break. It's the hardest one, I know. Every single time you reach for food you have to ask yourself why you're doing it, until you become a mindful eater.

Trust me. Once this becomes practice, loss, and later, maintenance, become so much easier. I do not think about it anymore. The habit is now ingrained as a good one. It took a long time, but it happened.

Good luck,

Cheri

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
