Re: Help needed:

[Guest guest]

I do have days when I eat a lot - others when I don't. Listen to your

stomach. If you're hungry - feed it. If you need salt - try something like

pretzels, pickles, olives, etc.

If you find a solution to the all day hunger please pass it my way!

I am starving all day long, every day.

And yes as you pointed out, while I am straving all day, I eat a

fraction of what I used to eat. However, this constant feeling of

hunger is mentally and physically taxing!

I really had hoped that the MGB would relieve this. I had heard

that Dr. R severs the nerve that causes us to be hungry. If that is

true then it did not work for me.

Would love to hear from others on this.

I think that rumor was a myth. I have days when I am hungry and days when I

am not but the hungry days seem to outweigh (no pun intended) the ones where

I am not. However, a little seems to do me. I snack on things like

pickles, olives, cottage cheese, etc. which is MUCH better than a bag of

chips, etc. However - if anyone has a magic answer let us know!!

About chitosan-----someone posted that they would like to try it but didn't

want to spend a huge amount of money. Out of curiosity I looked for it at

Wal-Mart this morning. They have a product called " Fat Trapper " - don't

remember the brand - but it was $10 or so for 60 capsules. It says the

" dosage " is 3-6 capsules before each meal. However, that is for weight loss

and fat trapping. Don't know what the dosage would be for bile reduction.

Just for information purposes....

I've definitely had those days . And I am also into salt. Something I

NEVER liked before. I crave it like I used to crave chocolate. Does anyone

have any idea what that is about?

in Atlanta

[Guest guest]

Eat salty things to help the craving and try to get more protein. Sometiimes

your body just needs more food--perhaps you have been more active lately. Eat

more often if you are hungry. You are not on a " diet. "

Hi ,

I am hungry all the time, too!! I bring snacks to work. I have crackers

and fruit at least every one to two hours. Sometimes I have cheese doodles.

Love those!

I also go to the bathroom a lot, #2. I only go at night and in the middle

of the night. Hopefully this will calm down.

Talk to ya soon!

[Guest guest]

Hello my fellow MGBers! About the being hungry all the time. I feel that too,

but mine is more head hunger than physical hunger. As far as being physically

hungry, I can't say that happens very often unless I haven't eaten all day.

Then it seems like something to drink even takes care of the physical hunger. I

do get the head hunger a lot. Just my thoughts.

flaxseed oil (I think) causing satiety...that sounded interesting to

me. I thought I would check at GNC to see what forms flaxseed

oil comes in.

Hi Romy,

Well I am glad to hear I am not the only one who spends a part of my sleep time

in the bathroom, at night. Its so strange, and it starts somewhere between 3am

to 5am and after three times it lets me go back to sleep.Lol

I have had days like that too. But in comparison to what I used to eat, it

is still not alot. I have found though that I will eat alot (or what you

feel like is alot) for a couple of days or so then you go back to not wanting

alot. Your body must need it, go ahead and eat, just eat good for you foods.

Take care,

Maybe this will be too much info, but my bowels wake me every

morning. Some mornings it seems life I use the bathroom ALL MORNING

LONG... I've switched to taking a double dose of citrucel at night,

instead of 2 times a day, and it is getting a little better. I've

had a couple of " close calls " , of course the only 2 times I wasn't a

stone throws away from a bathroom. Once I was in my neighborhood

walking, and I had to go RIGHT then and RIGHT there... luckily, I was

near a wooded area, so I went as far as I could into the woods and

well, you know... totally embarassing to admit, but its the truth.

The other happened just last week when I was on my way home from a

friends house. I had to drive really fast to get home in time. I

had tears streaming down my face it hurt so bad.

Hi

Thought I'd share my experience with this also. For the past 2 weeks I have

been like this--hungry constantly. If I didn't eat about every 1.5 hrs, I

felt like I'd go crazy with hunger. Now, not to gross anyone out but I was

going to the bathroom a LOT...at least 5 times a day. Today for some

reason, I'm not going to the bathroom and I'm not hungry at all either. In

fact, the only reason I ate lunch was because of the old head hunger. I've

had no snacks. So I think maybe the hunger depends on how much your

digestive system is moving. IMHO

: I had this problem too. And in fact it ruined a vacation that I took.

But it does pass. And the Citrucel does help some. But only time seems to take

care of the problem entirely. And I don't want to discourage you but the problem

stopped for me in late September and I had surgery in late May....so......hang

in there kiddo. It will get better!

Hi ,

Well, I will say my digestive system is " moving " very well...I had

always assumed that when a lot goes in, a lot goes out but you may be

on to something! I don't have those day when I'm not hungry very

often...hardly ever, in fact.

Lori,

I checked my manuel last night and it says nothing about flaxseed oil,

so I searched for supplements on clos.net and that says flaxseed oil

or fish oil. I have been taking fish oil for a long time...I may need

to take more because I'm only taking 1/day...those capsules are huge

and expensive. Maybe I will try the flaxseed after I use up my fish

oil supply.

My interest in flaxseed oil was that someone posted it created a

feeling of satiety...anyone know if fish oil does that?

I m at school and can not get into my personal email. I will check and

see if I have an old post from RR and forward it to you.

I recall but dont quote me...... eitherfish oil OR flax is what he

recommended. I personally take the fish oil and seemed to be GREAT do

you see positve results from the fish oil?

I take one pill a day. Yes that pill is huge but the " bran-wheat " is

worse .

I hope you guys know that I did NOT write this. I

*DO* still read this list (although not daily!) so

stop picking on me!

I think having frequent poops relates to quicker and

more substantial weight loss, so don't complain! My

frequency has greatly diminished, and so has my weight

loss. Not complaining, I only need to lose about 9

more pounds to get to a BMI of 25!!! YIPPEE!!!

Beth,

My opinion only..... when I'm home I'm not feeling hungry, when I'm out where

all the restaurants and fast food places are, I'm starving (at least til I get a

bite or two of anything)..

In my opinion I'm not hungry at all, just trying to fall back into an old

comfortable routine of eating out.. or just plain eating..

Sometimes at home (on Sundays) I feel so bored if I'm not busy cleaning or

running, I think* (key word) that I want something to eat.. after all it was my

old friend for years, but if I have a heart to head talk with my stomach I

realize I'm just looking for something to fill my time. (not food)

You might try some hard candy, or some popcorn.. it takes some time to eat it,

and tricks your mind into thinking your filling up!!

Good luck,
