StephC2009 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think I am in it right now. I have no restriction so I am pretty hungry. I have gained 3 lbs. back from the 16 that I have lost. I gained them back right after I started eating solids. February 3rd (first fill) can not come fast enough. Anyone else want to share your BH experience? I would love some encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funmama707 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oh no! Should you go back to liquids? Try the 5 day pouch test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Ohh yeah so sorry you are in banster hell! Best advice I can give is to eat really slow and also to do some Fiber Choice or Benefiber tabs. Those helped me around 10 and 3 when i'd get really hungry. Also, keep in mind at least for me this is when the mental stuff REALLY kicked in! Keep yourself busy - at night don't just sit around and watch TV - find things to do to keep you busy. It WILL get better I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristi Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Stephanie, Bandster Hell, Ughhh.. I remember that. Well, everytime I got hungry outside of my eating my 3 meals a day, I would sip water. I did try the fiber choice, like Shelby has said she did, and it does help. Infact, I think she told me about that too. Also when eating, chew very very very slow. For some reason I felt fuller longer after a meal. Hugs, Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsParris Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I suggest chewing sugarless gum. It is helping me with the sweet cravings and it gives my jaws a workout. I even read somewhere that it burns a few calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funmama707 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is the website for the 5DPT. My link Maybe it would help you get back on board? I'm also chewing on gum and pretty much drinking broth whenever I feel hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
