Super hungry at night



Recommended Posts

Hello I was sleeved 9 months ago..I have a small problem. I am very hungry after 6 pm I drink plenty of Water but I am still hungry..my weight loss has been good but I've notice it's slowed down. I spoke to my doctor and he said usually in the morning my stomach is tight but as the day goes on my stomach expands and I am able to fit more food. Any advise on how to keep hunger under control?

My doc said to eat when you're hungry and to stop when you're full. Maybe your body is needing something. Or maybe it's that mental hunger. Lol.

Maybe try to space your meals so that you eat closer to the evening. I always wonder about when they say "head hunger," as I always thought the feeling of "I'm hungry" came from my brain to start with.

I eat the evening meal at 6:00 and eat or drink NOTHING after. If hunger is bad, bad BAD, I just go to bed.

Won't let the head win this battle...

I always have a snack at night before I go to bed....I will eat a 1/4 C of nuts, or a yogurt, fruit...If I don't eat something at night I wake up in the middle of the night very very hungry....It gets me through the night and it is working..

Sure is better then chips and other junk food....

Seems to be working for me :)

I would give yourself a snack at that time. If you are truly gut rumbling, hunger pain hungry you should eat. Maybe go back to basics and eat like you did in the beginning, 1/2 cottage cheese, or Protein of some kind to fill you up and keep you full all night.I have a theory if you are really hungry your body is needing to be fed and you keep your insulin and glucose balance in check so you continue to burn calories.You need to assess if you are really hungry or if it is head hunger, and if real hunger feed, if not have a sugar free popsicle.

I am having this exact same problem! Around 8pm I'm super duper famished and I tried having a sugar free popsicle or pudding but that made me even more hungry. I eat during the day,drink plenty of Water, and take my Vitamins so it's not that I'm lacking nutrition. During the week it's not a problem but when my friends want us to hang out at night in the weekend it becomes an issue.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
