wow i eat so much compared to you guys.

It will change, Nessa.  It will take time, and you're going to have to retrain your brain.  Pretty soon, your pouch is going to be boss.

You WILL, once you're healed, and once you get into the solid food phase, get the "I'm full" signal.  Trust me, going over that just once may be enough to cure you of overeating.

You're doing great on WHAT you eat.  I know you said you have a problem with how MUCH you eat, but your tool WILL help you change that over time.

Hang in there, sweetie!!!

Yesterday-

B-  An egg with bacon bits
L-  chicken salad
D-  Mexican meatballs

Not enough fluids.  My whole day was off from the fasting bloodwork!  :(

let me just say that lunch today was WHOLLY unsatisfying.

What was it, Nessa?

a salad with feta.  i put too many onions in, the cucumbers were bitter and the romaine is starting to get grassy....  

so i ate my protein bar (think thin fudge brownie)  early...

now i'm full.... at least in my tummy I must be.  my head wants almonds.

Ick!!  Sorry about that, honey!!!

"They" say if you think you're hungry, wait 20 minutes, and if you still want the almonds, go for it - within reason.

Unless, of course, they're chocolate covered!!!!  LOL!!!
