i am so tired of these fertility treatment hormones!!! i am so tired of gaining 6.5 pounds in one week and it taking two weeks to go back to 'normal'. i am so tired of the bloating. i am so tired of being moody. but the thing that is the absolute worst? never feeling full or satisfied.

i know i am full because the the quantity i eat. i know i am full because of the calories consumed. i know i am full... but i don't feel full. i feel like i could eat and eat and eat. and eat and eat and eat some more. i want that 'done' feeling, not done like 'oh i ate too much', but done like 'ahhhhh... that was a perfect meal' i just want to feel full. :/

    About once a month I eat. I EAT. I have to have that full feeling. I eat whatever I can. I eat a lot of it. Then I jump back into the game.

    are you drinking enough water? at least half of your body weight in ounces a day; plus extra if u consume any caffeine, go over or near filling sodium, or excercise...this will help with bloating and the mass weight gains, as well as helping with hunger.

    eat and eat and eat something like celery or spinach or something like that; low cal, low sodium...

    Im not sure how long you have been eating a clean healthy diet. I started an allergy cleanse at the beginning of the year after having a mostly carb diet for years. I went through the same thing you did. Felling like a bottomless pit no matter how much or little I eat. My stomach always felt empty, which made me feel like eating all day long. My nutritionist said, that feeling is your brain tricking you into thinking it hungry so you will feed it all the bad food it wants (cravings). I don’t remember how long it took for that feeling to go away because I didn’t even notice when it stopped. But once I understood why I was feeling that way, it helped deal with the awful hunger pain. It will go away eventually it will just take some time, maybe a couple of months. Hope this helps you.
