Hi, I dont know how equipped I am to give any advice, I dont know anything about dialysis...is your fluid intake limited too? Otherwise some anis tea can help for feelings of starving, I took it because it helps for heartburn and stomachache but it also makes me less hungry. Anis is just an herb used to season bread, tastes a little like licorice.
Good luck, hope you can get a new kidney,
Susanne

I will keep you in my prayers. Twenty pounds is very do-able and I know it is within your reach. The saying, "a watched pot never boils" is so true for weight loss too. Although we need to be mindful of what we're doing, if we constantly stare at the scale, it will be a lot longer for the pounds to drop (or so it seems). Let go and let God... He can handle your heavy burden.

Mess's idea of tea sounds like a good idea. I am going to try that myself. Ask your doctor what you can do for the hunger.

I hope that you get on the list soon. Take care and keep the faith :)

the body lust for protein.
I drink a gal of water a day because that is what amount of oz's that my body has to have.
divide weight by 2 that is the amount of water that you are to drink everyday in ounces.
we half to have no less than 80oz a day. Now if you go jogging,walking,running, play sports you must drink enven more that is the amount that you need if you do nothing at all.
I also eat original Fiber On cereal. the body has to have fiber.
Fiber & oat can not come out like a stick. what the fiber does it actsas an anchor.it heres itself to toxins in your body and the water flushes the fiber out along with it's passengers.

what is that favorit all you can can eat place near your house! drink a gal of water all day and that night go down & try to eat everything there
I only want about 6oz of there food.

Water n fiber will cause you to feel full. it is all that I can do is to eat.

Again our bodies lust for protein. it doesn't care what you eat nor how much, all it does is seek protein.
I drink 2 diffrent types of protein powder drink. I use 20oz of water for protein drink.
Those protein bars ect are useless. Go to GNC to get protein powder's or wal mart. wal mart also has whey protein, get flavor protein powder. I like cholate. ya it taste bad at 1st but you will get use to it. I also blend in banana in mine.

Count cal's
remember cal's in cal's out ratio.
Do Not eat after 5PM.. if you get munches, eat fiber cereal dry. Fiber One cereal has diffrent types. as in fiber one cereal that has fruit &/or nuts in it. eat it like trail mix.

You will reach your goal. you will do it.
Oh ya, only weigh in, the 1st thing in morning. not during rest of day.
lets c whaat else. a gal of water weighs 8 lbs.
during wakeing hrs body will use 5 lbs. tje body will use use when your sleeping.
body has to have 8 hrs of scheduled sleep, nightly. that is also a must do.

Sorry for novel reply. I hope that info will be benifitual.
