I Just realized I have the munchies. I had 7 peanuts and a tbl spoon of cottage cheese. It made me chuckle. Can you imagine?!

Is this night time munchies or the other munchies lol?? Either way, I feel ya :) My sister in law sent home cupcakes after a birthday party this weekend. I decided to eat my cupcake that night, and I only ate 3 small bites and gave the rest to my husband. I think he was a little shocked (but he didn't complain!).

I'm right there with you. My snack is a tablespoon of Peanut Butter. That's a far cry from my old 9pm snack - double meat cheese burger, fries and coke. :-)

Funny isn't it!? I have a slice of lemon merengue pie in my fridge right now. My mom bought pies 2 weekends ago and I took a slice. In the middle of last week, I had a teaspoonful of yummy goodness and put it back in the fridge. I totally forgot all about it until about an hour ago when I had a small teaspoonful and put it back in its plastic container. Funny what snacking looks like these days.

Yes' date=' I get a pudding pop 40cals or a Protein shake. I have a hard time when to eat sometimes because I work overnight 3 to 4 days a week. I am use to eating at 1 or 2am.[/quote']

Oy, I feel for you on that. When my husband started graveyard shift 2 years ago his regular eating habits went out the window. He brings a bunch of little things to work overnight now (granola bar, banana, small salad, some chex mix) and then eats leftovers when he gets home from work, and dinner with the rest of the family around 8pm.

Anyway, I hope you figure out an eating schedule that is healthy and works for you.

      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.
