How am i going to make it the next two weeks my next appointment isn't till July 16 (dr will only fill once every 4 weeks). Any tips to keep my will power up should i include a small snack between Breakfast and lunch and lunch and supper to help me not overeat at my meals? Did anyone else loose restriciton after having it?

Drink Protein Shakes between meals or get laughing cow cheese and special K crackers. 35 cal. for the cheese and 90 for 17 crackers. There are all sorts of things, but these are 2 of my favorites. With the cheese and crackers it is a total of 125 cal. and very filling. Good luck

My instructions were that until I reached good restriction, if I got hungry before 4 hours had passed since I ate a meal, to eat Protein only. So, I snacked on low fat cottage cheese, low fat cheese, even a few shrimp. I was told never to snack on carbs. The protein Snacks worked for me. There are some 2% cheese that comes in single serving pieces, usually with 12 in a bag (Sargento and Kraft) and I keep those at work even now for their convenience.
