Help!

I had the gastric sleeve on March 14th of this year. I am down 44 pounds post op. But recently I feel hungry at night, always ;when I come home from work. I do really well all day, drinking my shakes or eating protien bars. But once I step in the front door I feel like everything goes out the window. Then I feel guilty and worry that I have stretched my sleeve. This vicious cycle is driving me insane!! Any advice please.

I've had similar issues. I have to get a grip and start somewhere so I'm going to find as much healthy snacks/foods to keep in my house and doing a clean out of all the bad stuff. That's a first step because out of sight, out of mind. I'm going to have a heart to heart with my family about supporting me. I've got a seperate post where I have gotten advice and I'm passing this on to you. We are our own responsibility so we have to just put our foot down. If you find you are snacking mostly at night, have some special treats that are healthy waiting on you when you get home so you know you are going to treat yourself to something..if you know what it is you are more likely to pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth rather than junk it up for the night. For instance if you are having ice cream, have some low fat yogurt instead...jerky for chips, ,you get the idea. Night eating is a killer and I've struggled with it my whole life. You have to start somewhere, if you are going to eat at night,,make it healthy. I hope this helps. Good luck!
