I am 11 months out, I have losted 165pds. I feel hurgery all the time now I try to get all my water and protein in, I am so scared that I might add the pounds back on, can some one please HELP. Missy

Hi, Missy!!! Congrats on such a great weight loss. Tomorrow we are starting a 5 day pouch test to hopefully get the scale moving again and get back to the basics. Feel free to join in, if you want. See the Thread about it below. If you are scared because you are hungry all the time, make sure that you are making healthy snack choices. SF Jello or SF Pudding, drink a protein shake, try some beef jerky or cheese, or buy some deli turkey breast in a chunk, rather than chipped or sliced and cut it in cubes to snack on. I've been trying to snack on Shrimp ****tail when I am hungry. Maybe even pick up a hobby that keeps your hands and mind busy. Try to learn to crochet or knit or do some scrapbooking. Read a book or go for a walk. Get your mind off of the hunger. You have come so far. Keep an eye on that scale. If you notice that it starts creeping up, DON'T WAIT!!! Do something about it now!!! Start journaling your food and drinks. Keep it in www.fitday.com, it is free and seeing what it going in your mouth and how many calories and carbs and proteins, may make you think more about what you eat. You won't go back to where you were 11 mos ago. Hang in there. Let us know how it is going. Don't be a stranger. Hugs, Tabby

Great Advise Tabby!!!! I agree with you! Yes Missy, dont be a stanger!! Luvs and Hugs! Tiff

Hi Missy, great to see you posting. I dont feel hungry "all" the time, but I do have those days. I can eat alot though. So I really have to be careful about what I eat. I always have cucmbers, salad, tomatoes,carrots with meals. That sort of thing. I eat my protein, then fill up on veggies or fruit. My snack if I have one is always a fruit or yogurt, or both. Some days I still eat very little, but generally I can eat much more now. Im thinking what seems like "alot" to us, is really a normal sized meal. On my hungry days, I do go ahead and have a snack of fruit or veggies. Sometimes, I jsut have to go take a nap and try and forget about it. Maybe you could try smaller meals more freq? That doesnt work for me, because I still feel hungry after eating, so I stick with 3 meals and occassionally a snack. Keep working on it. Your loss is fabulous! Lauri

Thank you maybe I will add more veggies and fruit. Missy

165 lbs!! Wow!! Great job. I think we are all in the same boat right now. That is why we stick together so we can help encourage each other to work this tool.
