Well Father Don, my surgeon has been in practice for many years and is very highly reccommended so please be careful on HOW you say things.  I was told the take the Flintstones in the beginning right after surgery and I was asking about what additional ones to be taking now that I have progressed through the "healing process" a bit more.  If you do not have anything nice to say, please do not comment.

Here's a GREAT trick - when you feel hungry (or find you shoving your head in the fridge or pantry), Take a walk, so something - read, walk, take a drive, etc.....but do SOMETHING for 20 minutes.  Then if you really ARE hungry after that 20 minutes), eat a healthy snack.

Sometimes that 20 minute distraction is all it takes.

Also, remember - FLUIDS!  Sometimes when we feel hungry, it's actually our body needing water...so sip, sip, sip instead of "grazing"...


Hope these help!

 AWARENESS is the key......sounds like a good plan about picking up good healthy protein snacks  to clear up the difference between snacking ( a planned meal) and grazing.

Also, try (if possible) to crank up your ipod, get your nails done, or something non food related to help you think other thoughts.

Always remember..........

 

Nobody can control your emotions without your permission. YOU are in control.
