Ok so I haven't had my first fill yet not till June 7th. I do so good all day but at night I'm so hungry. I have tried having a snack but that still doesn't help. What can I do?

try saving a few calories for an evening snack. Keep busy so you don't think of eating. Drink more Water. Just a few suggestions.

You an try saving some calories for a snack as mentioned above. I would make that snack Protein based chicken breast plain (maybe mustard), or low fat cheese stick. If you are going to have carbs make them a plain veggie. Look for Mini Sweet Peppers in the produce department. I just eat them buy hand and don't bother cutting them up (great price at Costco).

I've also heard people talk about having a Protein Shake in the evening, frozen a bit more and it gets them through longer... (i'm still in the pre-op stage so my help is limited). Good Luck!

I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy but im always going to bed hungry. I got my first fill this week and there's just not a whole lot of restriction in the evening. It stinks. i do eat a high Protein snack before bed but it's a tiny thing compared to the bag of microwave popcorn I ate before bed just a month ago.. So I'm wondering if part of my issue is head hunger? or

This might just be part of "bandster hell"?

A snack is a good idea. I eat1/4c nuts and find them very satisfying. I measure because they are very calorie dense and have significant fat. Low carb though.

Thanks everyone. I'm still in the mushy part of the diet so I try a ff string cheeses. Maybe I should try a Protein Shake. Before the band I used to eat the most at night so I think that's why I want to eat.

      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.
