I work overnights as well. I completely understand what you are feeling. Not sure why it seems this way but I have the same issue. I'm a year out now Dec. 28 2012 and I think working overnights has hindered my progress with weight loss. I try to like boiled eggs or drink a Protein shake. I get hungry like every 2 to 3hrs and it scares me! My highest weight was 389 before surgery 353 now I'm 290. So you are way ahead of me! But I believe it's because I work overnights of my slower progress.

Well my friend you have lost a good amount of weight. My highest weight was 330 lbs and now 280. I am going to start bringing carrots and spinach hopefully that will help.

I was thinking this earlier before I saw this post. I work nights too and I'm hungry all night. I'm not hungry on my off days. I hope someone has some suggestions for this problem!

      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.
