I had my nutrition class today! I have lost 2 lbs. I five days! Woo hoo! My insurance is requiring a 5% weight loss before I can have surgery. I started out at 388and I am now 372! Yea!

Our class today was on portion and serving sizes.  She used cereal as an example. She gave me a snack pack box of cereal and compared it to one of the store bought serving bowls of the same cereal.  The amount were significantly different. Both containers said one serving size and the calorie and oz. size were different. This was a big surprise to me. I will be reading all my labels from now on!

   Okay folks, what fiber supplement do you take most often and why?

   What does it do for your body? Do you take it for price, Dr. recommended it, hunger control, laxative effect, assists with regularity more so than other fibers you've tried, low sugar/carbs, etc.???

Peace and healthiness,

Marie.

Thanks for the reply!! I'm thinking of consulting a doctor in my locality to discuss about all my health issues. If I could control my hunger then I could start a healthy diet and regular exercise.

I am wondering how you are doing, now that is been about a month after surgery?

You see, I also felt this "hunger" about a week after my surgery. I had been on thing but clear liquids though, and I think that I might have been starving myself. When I finally drank a protein shake and then ate some real food, the hunger seems to be gone.

What I wonder is, if I can tell the difference between a craving and hunger? I have been wanting a taco, and I am pretty sure this is a craving, not hunger. But I was a bit discouraged that I felt any hunger at all, as I was told I would not feel hunger for a year. If I was feeling it 10 days after surgery, that did not forebode well for my success.

My Nut told me no way on baby food, very high in sugar.
