GOING TO SLEEP HUNGRY

[downsizingdiva 459]

Anyone have any tips for trying to get to sleep when you're starving. I tried the Decaf, sleepy time tea the last two nights. .and here I am again wide awake as a hoot owl starving...I've drank like 4 huge glasses of Water over the last hour or so...this is not head hunger. .this is my stomach growling. ..and I'm just trying to be good not on pre op diet yet or anything. Thanks

Do you have Protein shake powder? I've found them pretty satisfying.

So I've got nectar....is that ok at night? I guess of course it's better than the leftovers that r haunting me.

So you haven't had surgery and aren't on preop? Just eat something.

Yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, anything high in Protein, low in carbs.

I just try not to eat after six then I can't sleep. It's almost 9 here.

Why not?

[downsizingdiva 459]

Well you sound like my fiance lol. He said the same thing lol. I don't know, since I was approved in Sept but surgery was booted out til January, I have just tried to keep losing or at least not gain. Anyway, I gave in and ate because I had to have some sleep. I'm not kidding I'm like a zombie here from not sleeping much the last few weeks. I'm just weird sometimes can't eat =no sleep.

Oh about the eating late, I've just always read and heard to stop eating at six. I know the rules will be different post op.

Eh, it's a myth. Calories in + Calories out = Weight Loss or Weight Gain.

There is no mythical beast that hides within you holding a clock who will add weight to your booty if you eat at 6:01p or even 11:35pm unless you've taken in more than you've burned.

That's true for pre and post op.

I also just read somewhere that hunger may be caused by acid / reflux even if you don't experience or feel it. They said to try some TUMS or another antacid. Good luck!

I can't sleep hungry either. Been having a Protein shake or something right before bed if I need it. I don't just sleep badly, I'll get up in the morning will a full blown Migraine.< /p>

So yeah, eat

Pre and post op, my sleepy friend is hot chocolate made with a sugar free cocoa packet and milk, not Water. If I do use Water, then I add a little sugar free whip cream. However, making it with milk gives me more Protein.

Try some chamomile tea.

Try a cup of milk before bed.
