Yours is a little different than mine. I don't get hungry until 2pm. At my last appointment I told my surgeon and he said I have to eat in the mornings whether I like it or not. I think you should perhaps try eating light things throughout the day such as string cheese, Soups, yogurt, etc. I would definitely recommend speaking to your surgeon about this because your situation does sound odd. Good luck,hope things get better for you.

I am the same way! OMGosh I thought it was only me! I am 5 months out.

I eat at night... if I don't I can't sleep!

I try to get all my fluids in. I still struggle with that!

I feel the same most nights, ( date surgery 12/11/12 ), I am up at Midnight allot of nights, so I snack on fruit wedges ( mango, apple,pineapple ) and tomatoe wedges, no it's not always perfect but it helps, I also eat something called roasted edamame, that has good Protein content and I found a little of this is not so bad on the scale count later and curbs apetite some more when I combine these things. If not the edamame I add small piece good cheese, when I am real hungry I have eaten small meal but that hurts the next day some of those times when I comapre to nights I do never do this.

Also, I eat keeping in mind the next thing is not to wind up in bed, I like a few hours time to digest and use a few of those calories as well.

I have been eating 3 meals per day now and Snacks, latest meal is around 7-8 pm and at 3-4ish pm's I have a good sized snacker or Protein boosted drink supplemental thing I do, I only drink half what I would at a meal or 1/3rd of calories in that for this snack time. I do the full drink thing most mornings as a meal and two solid food ones during the day or early eves.weight loss has been minimal in comparison these weeks past, I wish it was always the same as start but knew this was bound to be it at some time, I am also believing more proper sleep has helped better things too.

when all else is bound to fail I break out some shrimps and coctail sauce instead.

The body in general tries to digest more when we are less active so it creates more stomach acid at night, seeing as we don't eat as much as we used to this increase in digestion will cause increased hunger. Basically this is just a matter of nature and we need to plan for it accordingly. I personally try to spread my eating out over the evening, while carefully keeping track not to go overboard. I work 2nd shift 4 nights a week meaning I work till midnight so I therefore try to eat dinner between 6:30 and 7:30 and then have a snack close to 10, this way I can get what I need in but still have that time before sleep. It is also worth noting that if you are taking a ppi/Prilosec it would probably reduce this process possibly making it easier to deal with. Good Luck.

tried an antacid twice, late night and early wake up this morning, can say it may had curbed some apetite away, I can't say whats what up until I try this more regularly, may be on to something useful with it though.

a lot of times at that stage what people believe to be hunger pains are actually gas buildup in the stomach from the surgery, make sure you are up moving around as much as possible to work all the gas out and it will help with the pains. Good Luck.
