Stop eating at 8pm. Make it a firm rule. Only herbal tea after 8pm. Or water...or whatever you like to drink. At 9pm, take a melatonin and try to get to bed earlier. Better sleep reduces calorie intake overall, reduces cortisol, makes us less likely to eat from fatigue. Good sleep is hugely tied to better success with our diet. Eating late messes up circadian rhythms that help us eat and sleep in a good pattern.

Friday face hahaha down 25 lbs [emoji847]🤪

I'm also bucking the trend. One thing in the past that always led to failure when "dieting" was feeling hungry and deprived. I'm not a big late night snacker, but if I do want something to munch on, I will have it. But I just make sure it is something healthy, like veggies, or low cal, like sf jello.

Ok cool so next Friday we will post hahaha awesome

Its the whole near region, but most intense at the big incision. It feels like nerve pain to me? But I'm a bit surprised by this development. Oh, and I never actually bruised!

I love your response! Great reminders of why I had surgery! I smile more too

That’s one of my vices. Hard habit to break. Especially when you stay up late.

Anyway... I didn't mean to hijack the thread... let's get back to Happy Friday.

Thank you... I don't totally hate my shakes... I have a good variety of flavors and try to mix them up as much as possible. But I would kill for something chewable right now... maybe a nice juicy steak. I think Friday's are the worst in general. Usually at work we order lunch together because it's payday. Friday nights I attend a support group and we usually go to Denny's after for a bite. I look forward to being able to participate in either of those again. Although I guess in 2 weeks once I'm onto soft foods, I can go out with my friends and just have an egg-white omelet.

Same day here!
