Question:
Why am I hungry a lot more?

What's Going On? I am 16 months post-op and for the past 2 months, I noticed I have been starving and snacking alot... Help! I've gained back a couple of pounds, but I am so scaird to be unhealthy again. I lost 80 #, I'd rather die than be heavy again. How can I kick-start my system again... Please let me know if anyone else has had this happen...I'm getting depressed worrying about gaining back the weight...    — Lenore G. (posted on July 10, 2001)

I find that if I snack on something high in protein, I stay fuller longer. One snack that I like to make that's real easy is to cut a slice of american cheese into four pieces & put on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for a couple of minutes or until golden colored. Take out dish & use spatula to take cheese off immediately before it sticks. Let cool off & they'll be nice & crispy like cheezit crackers. I use them for tuna, salsa peanut butter or just by themselves. Yum!! Every microwave is different, so trial & error ya know? I hope this snack works for you. Keep well! *_*
