Waiting up for 3 am feeding



Recommended Posts

Feel like my new stomach is a newborn, every night at 3 am I wake up starving. I eat a cheese stick I'm up for an hour or two then go back to sleep. Does anyone else do this?

You didn't post what surgery you had or how long it's been.

I had bypass 12 weeks ago and never feel hungry at all. I also don't get up at night and eat. I do keep a bottle of Water by the bed because I frequently wake up with a very dry mouth.

I feel hungry a lot of the time, but since my program dictates we stick with 3 meals and don't snack, I avoid snacking as much as humanly possible.

Just like Ginger Snaps mentioned, I keep a bottle of Water around as well as even at 6+ months out I still wake up and need a drink quite often.

I get up each day at 3:00 so I'm usually hungry, but I typically wait until 8 or 9 to have Breakfast, then try to wait for lunch around 1 or 2 and dinner around 7. I'm usually decently hungry again before I get to bed around 11, but do my best manage it with more Water. On the rare occasion I can't handle it, I've found that a couple of teaspoons of salsa works well to quell the hunger without much in the way of calories.
