Ok, head hunger is killing me! Am I hungry or not?! Am I eating too much? Am I eating to little?
I find my self "hungry" or just wanting to eat in the middle of the day, night, afternoon! I don't just eat though, I sit and mediatate on how my pouch feels, is it empty? When did I last eat, am I thirsty!? This is crazy, I am constantly thinking about what to eat and when! Will this ever end? I am also concerned about whether or not I'm eating too much or too little? Let me give u all an idea, of what I eat daily:
I try to have a 4-6 oz. of fat free skim milk in the am
for breakfast, I try to eat either cottage cheese, an egg w/ cheese., maybe a half slice of WW wheat bread.( this morning I had half an egg, 2 slices of bacon, and a half piece of toast)
For lunch: may leftovers from dinner, a protien and veggie
Snack

if I have one) maybe a fat free pudding or square of sharp cheese, or string cheese or like 7 cheese its. ( I very rarely have snacks)
Dinner: a protien and veggie( if I eat dinner) last night though I had the inside of a hot pocket.
I've tried thin crust pizza, which tasted fabulous! Although I can only eat a piece the size of a post it! Everything I've tried so far has given me no problems, except I thonk I ate too much of a chicken tender, and spinach the other day, and I was so tired and weak, I had to lay down! I was sweating and aching! it was horrible!
Sorry ya'll I know I'm rambling, but am I doing alright? Am I wanting to eat because of PMS, because of stress, why, why, why!!! Help me please guys advice is needed! I want to live as normal a life as possible. I want to stop feeling like I'm starving!

I don't see any red flags in your diet ... when did you have your surgery?

Do you have protein drinks?

How are you doing on your water intake?

Looks like you diet is good. Sounds like to me you are still battling the head hunger. Good luck hon.

Oh, been there, done that!

First- if you think you're hungry, you're probably actually thirsty. Sip, sip, sip! Do you get in 64 ounces? It's filling too!

Second- I don't know when you had surgery, but it's not unusual to have problems with certain foods. I can do chicken- but leftover chicken almost always gives me trouble. I couldn't eat spinach for about 9 months- and it has been my favorite veggie since childhood. (Yup, loved the Popeye cartoons! Sold me on spinach!)

Don't forget you can dump on fat too, not just sugar. That may be what got you on that chicken tender. (They are almost always deep-fried.) You also want to limit the carbs: pizza, toast. Also- I don't know how often you eat bacon, but keep in mind that the fat to protein ratio is not too good. You would be better off eating a whole egg and skipping the bacon. If you want to jazz up breakfast, scramble that egg, add a few shreds of LF cheddar, and have some salsa on the side. I have that several times a week- yum!!!

Yup, at some point you'll stop feeling crazy

- but you'll always have to think out your food more than other, just to make sure you get in enough protein. You'll always have to keep sipping, sipping, sipping, 'cuz you're re-wired now too, and water goes through just as fast, if not faster, than the food does! You're doing good, keep it up!
