Tuesday Morning Coffee

Carey!  Send your DH across the border to my house!  I could use a good dose of cleaning.....in the house and in the car.

He'd probably do it!  He goes to my parents house and does their windows all the time - he offers!  My mom will come over and he'll clean her car in and out.  OMG - one time he washed the neighbors car just because it was there.  When there's snow - I swear he does the whole dang block. 

Ok, riddle me this:
So far today I have had: oatmeal, 2 bottles of water, a South Beach bar, and a HUGE bowl of strawberries, grapes, and yogurt. 

I am sitting at my desk ready to scream because I'm so hungry.  The only thing here is girl scout cookies, so I'm not going in to the shop looking for something.  

Does this happen to anyone else?  It happens to me all the time.  I'm always hungry.  And not just head hunger.  I mean my pouch is a' growling and I feel like I haven't eaten in a week.  This is how I spend most of my day......counting calories and trying to tell myself that I'm not hungry.

If you add up all that you eat today so for I come up with no more then 24-26 grams of protein .. Maybe add a hard boiled egg in there or something to get it up some more. Try a hand full of nuts or some seeds

Brenda,

In my opinion, your not getting in enough protein.  If you added peanut butter to your oatmeal, and had 2 yogurt's with some fruit, instead of allot of fruit and one yogurt.  I think it would fill you up more.

Do you do fitday?  You might want to try something like tracking your carbs vs protein and see how you feel on a heavy protein day vs a heavy carb day.

Just a thought.  Good luck,

Edie

Yep, I use Fitday.  It doesn't seem to really make a difference.  By the end of the day I am meeting my protein requirements. 
I went home for lunch and had a whole chicken breast, and another yogurt.  Still starving!

Did you have rny?  Are you gaining?  I've read on a graduates group on Yahoo that a few people have had staple line disruptions, and their main indicators were extreme hunger and weight gain????

Yep, I had RNY, and yes, I am gaining like a college wrestler.   I will ask at my 3 year check up in a few weeks, but don't hold much hope that it will be looked in to.  They'll just tell me to "mix up my cardio and weights" again.  Phooey.

Thanks for the suggestions....I just wondered if anyone else had the same thing going on.

Protein Woman!  Start your protein earlier in the day.   It will hold you over longer instead of waiting till dinner time and you're starving your guts out.  Can't hurt to try it.

Afternoon all (well almost),

I'm just sitting here wondering what I'll have for lunch.  I had a dental procedure this am and I am still a bit numb, so I might have a shake for lunch and have the lunch I brought at 3 instead of my shake.  Don't want to bite my gums off, ouch!

Q:  I try to keep the outside clean, I love a clean car.  In the winter I watch the weather channel, if we're going to be snow free for a day or two I go for it and get it washed.  But if the poor thing has turned white w/ salt then I just get it done no matter what to try to save it from all the yucky salt!  As for the inside, mine stays pretty clean.  No kids, short work commute and I usually clean it out every day.  Although with the cold winter this year I haven't vacuumed like I should have, my side is dirty and needs a good vacuuming.  But I'm soooooo cold all the time I cannot fathom going outside to vacuum right now!
