Night time has always been my weakness. What's worse, my metabolism is as such that I can't eat at all after 7pm and still lose weight.

It will sound weird, but I've kinda tricked/trained my brain. Every night when I get the urge to graze, I take a hot bath and brush my teeth. Now, when I do, it's like my brain goes "oh ok, it's bath and clean teeth time, no more eating". I'm then fine the rest of the night.

I used to eat at night , especially after my husband went to bed, so he couldn't see what I was eating.. I would eat huge bowls of ice cream or Peanut Butter and crackers, chips, anything junky.. always went to bed with a full stomach.. since getting ready to be banded and after being banded if I feel hunger at night I drink something, then go to bed... my eating at night habit has stopped and I am truly sleeping better for the first time in years... I think it;s like any bad habit and can be broken.. mind over matter.

I also struggle with that. Drinking Water or hot tea helps.

At night is when my BIG SWEET TOOTH kicks in. I strugle with that so bad. I will sometimes have a cup of Decaf cofee with my fat free cream. Its 75 cals (way better than anything else sweet) . I love the sugestion to brush my teeth. I am going to try this tonight. Tks for the post.

If I am craving something sweet, I have one of my Bariatric Calcium chews. I ordered them from Amazon.< /p>

Sometimes I will also make half of a chocolate Protein shake and heat it up so it tastes like hot chocolate.< /p>

      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
