Night Snacking



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm only 5 days on the pre-op diet but I think I've figured out how to curb night snacking... Go to bed earlier. It mugh seem crazy but I tend to snack at night, watching tv, working on the computer..doing non essential stuff and just staying awake because. So I've still had the urge to snack but, I just go to bed. This new routine allows me to wake up and exercise because I've gotten my 8 hours and I feel refreshed enough to workout. Also by this time I am hungry and I've always been a person that skips Breakfast. So I am ready for my Protein Shake and I get my breakfast in.... wow, just a little change in my normal routine has so many benefits... no snacking after nine, because I go to bed. Wake up and exercise. Eat breakfast. Find the little things you can do to make changes if you eat emotionally, or just because. It is a breakthrough for me, so I thought I' share.... 8:30-9 PM is my new bed time.

Smart!! Glad you've found something that helps. I've found that keeping myself on a strict schedule really helped me; looks like you're doing the same.

:rolleyes: I've discovered embroidery (quilt blocks). It's cheap to do, keeps my hands busy, and since I don't want to get my work dirty I can't eat at the same time. :P

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
