I'm so friggin hungry all the time lately???

I'm gonna check with Dr. Osano to see if she had any updates on PPI formulas, etc.

I usually get the "crunchies" at night.  I love the feel of something crunching between my teeth.  The stuff last night wasn't typical for me, just wanted something, so maybe head hunger, who knowz?
I love sugar snap peas cuz they are really crunchy and they happen to be really good for me.  I'm gonna go back to having them instead of trying to soothe my soul with tons of other stuff.
I love the warm broth idea too.  I actually was thinking that might be part of my hunger lately cuz I've been drinking lots of hot tea/coffee.  I can't get enough lately.  I don't do sodas, but tea/coffee/latte with soy will take me places I wanna go.  Please don't take that away too!! LOL!

Interesting replies!  Keep 'em coming!  Love this site!!  It's so real!

I love me some sugarcookie tea at night!  I know you know!!  I dunno if you do or do not like the sugarcookie tea but for me? yumz!!  .
Sugar snap peas make me miss my guinea pigs. You could not crunch anything in the house without them wheeking at you to share!!

I am not taking your hot drinks away mama!  Not me! No way Jose!

Oh yeah....I remember sugarcookie tea.  You got me hooked last Christmas.  I bought the last box on Amazon...LOL!

I recommend this one to others.....as the saying goes...the first one is free...so be careful!  I gotta add 2 bags to be my fix on!

Hijack!  Brandi, you had guinea pigs???  I have had them for years, and they are such wonderful little pets!  And yes, the minute I open the frig door -- WHEEP WHEEP WHEEP!  It is such a hoot :-)

I sure did, for a good 8 years.  I know you said your BuddyPig went to go live with your pastor when you got sick and after BuddyPig's womanpig passed away.

I miss them, but my lungs sure dont.  Boo to lungs!  Well, boo to ornery lungs.

Oh, too funny!  You are amazing!  I can't believe you remember Buddy Pig!!!  And yes, his sweetie Sammy went to her piggie reward a while back.  He is an only pig now, and since I adopted Bat the Cat from a friend who died of cancer, I'm afraid Buddy may be my last pig, at least for a while.  I sure have enjoyed all the piggies, though :-)  Buddy is number nine in my long string of them; I got my first one in 1988!

Yea, but I cannot remember where I put the freaking keys or state capitals, so..my good memory seems incredibly selective.  :}

I had a herd of 8 boys, split into 2 because I had one boypig who was just a butthead.  Loads of personality, but whooo.. not everyone cared for his head humping ways.  :} 

Sammygirl.  Yes! 

There will aways be so many goodpigs who need homes, and we have some great rescues around. 

I never knew any guinea pigs until I got my first one.  Then I was slave.  :} 

I feel hungry quicker when I eat anything with sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. Wheat bread has always sat funny in my tummy, even as a preop, and made me feel hungry. I think it's all just gas or something.

It seems like most of what you listed that you ate are slider foods for me - or foods that I can eat a lot of and that dont stay with me for very long. Maybe try eating just protein (meat) and the salad, then if you feel hungry again, eat meat or solid cheese.

I'm also wondering if you think some of it might be head hunger? Is it an actual physical feeling in your stomach just minutes after eating or do you just want to eat again minutes after eating? I have trouble discerning between the two sometimes.

Another thing you can try is to take your PPI in the evening before dinner. I've switched to evenings and can hardly eat anything after dinner on most nights.

Great Info!  I'm gonna try the PPI in the evening. 

You are right about protein.  I've gotten away from the "protein first" rule.   I use Stevia unstead of artificial sweetners.  It's great, but I do use it a lot more than ever in my hot tea or added to my greek yogurt & cinnamon.

Love ya!

Good idea about the PPI at night if you get the night munchies girlie!!
