Hello all, I haven't been on here in a long time but I need some idea's. I'm a band and I need some ideas that are high in protein and quick and easy. Every morning I eat yogurt with protein powder (21 grams) but like 2 hours later I am STARVING. I don't know if it's because I am in class and I have nothing else to focus on but I'm starving. I really don't have enough time to make breakfast because I have to be there at 7am. Any Idea's outh there, or anyone else with this problem? I am usually home by 12:30 I eat lunch and I'm fine the rest of the day it's just getting through the morning. I can't do the protein shakes they make me sick. Open for suggestions. Thank you all so much.

Have you tried fruit flavored protein shakes (Syntrax Nectars)?

I usually take decaf tea with me wherever I go, that helps. Have you tried something with a higher fiber content? I get a nice protein cereal from Kashi that is also a good source of fiber and that keeps me going for hours.

Maybe you need your band adjusted. I looked into the band but ended up getting the bypass instead. I remember reading about needing to get the band adjusted. I also remember reading about a percentage of people who have a band but still feel hungry. I would think if that was your case that you would feel hungry immediately after eating. I think you should talk to your doctor. Let us know how you are.

Maybe happymom5, I should make an apt. I'm full after I eat it's just a few hours later. I'm not hungry after I eat lunch or dinner. IDK I'm so lost! But thanks girls.

Try taking a snack with you like a protein bar or some nuts. That helps me when I am in mid morning hungry mode

I would suggest take a protein bar or something you can take with you and snack on or even eat in the morning on the way to class. Try some sugar free gum while you are in class maybe it will help

I don't know a lot about the 'band' but my first thought was that the yogert is too liquid. It will pass through quickly leaving you hungry faster. Does this happen after other meals too? Try eating "lunch" or "supper" foods for breakfast.
