I have discovered that I am writing stuff in my journal in a vain attempt at trying to distract myself from wanting to eat everything in sight. You know those yelow post-it notepads? They're starting to look yummy.
I've even gone so far as to open up a metamucil fiber capsule and dump the contents into a cup of broth to make it more soup-like. In case you're wondering, it's oddly slimy, yet kinda cool-- like arrowroot powder.
Yesterday at the drugstore, I saw an interesting product: water thickener. The idea is that for people who have trouble swallowing, thickening may help.
My mind just goes into all sorts of tizzies at this. For instance, by using two packets of the "honey" consistency, you get a "pudding" consistency. Doing this with a cup of chicken broth leads to the concept of clear chicken pudding. Hot clear chicken pudding.
I need to have a weird food party. :)

What about popcorn? Can you have that? It takes care of the crunchy-chewing I sometimes miss, and fills me up.
Also: what about a small amount of dairy? Plain yogurt (low or sugar free) or milk with your shake/broth?
How is your water intake? Tons a water fills me up. It doesn't always stop cravings, but it makes me full enough to not want to eat.
Green veggies? High fiber, good nutrients, crunch, and feelings of bulk and fullness. Maybe a small amt of peanut butter on celery would provide a small amount of protein and fat with the veggie bulk...
That's all I can think of.
It's not so much a fill-me-up thing.
