I hear ya. I have tried sugar free Jello w/light whip cream total of 25 calories. That does it usually, if not I go for a Greek Yogurt too.....MOST of the time that is....

I got some greek yogurt from costco the other week...they were pretty good a little on the thick side but good none the less...I just try eating a piece of toast with cottage cheese and honey that works as long as it doesnt get stuck that is....:o

I used to do the evening snack thing, but to be honest, it never resolved the issue. After I finished my sugar free Jello, I just wanted another and another. It had nothing to do with hunger and everything to do with bad habits.

I find the only thing that helps is to keep my hands busy. So I needlepoint, quilt or scrapbook while watching tv in the evenings. It's working so far.

I agree, if I let myself, I would snack all night. One thing I do to help aleviate this is, don't watch commercials! My husband and I have talked about this many times, if you are watching television after about 7:00, a huge amount of the commercials are about food. We either watch a movie or DVR our favorite shows and watch them the next night :)

I also try adjusting my eating schedule so that I eat later, sometimes 8pm. Then I am too full to munch. I get on the computer, play games, do housework. If I have to succomb to a snack, I make myself log it even if I have not logged any other food-- I then say if you are going to eat this, you are going to have to work them off! That works because some of the junk is not worth it.

I will usually save my sugar free pudding for an after dinner snack. Your idea of doing something with your hands is a much better idea. It also takes your mind off eating when you have to think about your knitting etc.

I also need to find a way to keep myself busy, during the day I am very good about what I eat and how much but at night I struggle. I decided to take a knitting and crochet class (to see which one I like more) at Joann Fabics so I can give myself something to do at night to keep my mind off food.< /p>

After work I come home and exercise for about 30-40 minutes, have dinner that is what works for me and has kept me from becoming a raving munchie nut!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
