I dont know, but if you figure it out please let me know, im having the same problem

Try planning your food day... Write down what you will eat along with the calories, fat, & protein amounts. Are you getting enough protein and liquids??? Then keep busy. Do your nails, go for a walk, clean the bathroom... Just keep telling yourself that you won't eat until a specific time. Also, pick a specific place that you can only eat. Like the kitchen table. Not in front of the tv. I hope this helps, have a great day!

Sorry about the do your nails comment. i didn't realize it was man i was adding advice to. I stupidly assumed it was a girl! Have a great day!!

Snacking is something we all struggle with the further post op we become. I can only suggest, like Chrissy62902 said, to plan out your food for the day. I find I do better on days that I plan out all my meals and snacks so that I don't have to stare into the fridge or food cabinets. I also try drinking alot of fluids throughout the day because it helps me not feel as hungry.

Also be honest with others around you. Tell them to watch your snacking and point it out of you are over eating or grazing alot. I tell people what to watch for...alot of time we assume people know we have 'a problem with food' but they don't. We have to tell them what our trigger foods are. What our behaviors are.....and how to help us stay on the right track.

Best of luck to you.

My Dr gave me this advise..every time you want to snack and it has not been 2 hours since you last ate..drink a glass a water..if in 15 mins you still feel the need to eat something go ahead..he says that what we think are hunger pains may be dehydration issues..try it..it works for me
