Night shift workers

[MisR 13]

Ok .. I'm 7weeks post op from gastric bypass my Dr isn't really happy with my weight lose since I returned to work. I work 12hour night shifts on 2 to 3 days off 2 to 3days. I'm averaging 1.5 to 2 lbs a week. My problem so far is staying with a schedule. I'm trying to but it's hard just wonder if there's any one who's got any pointers that can help please.

I was doing night shifts for a few months after my surgery, and I was losing well, due to not eating much during working hours, and then got home in the morning, went to bed and slept till work again. Honestly, I was just dragging myself, and NS is totally not for me, the struggle is real!

I think losing 2 pounds a week is awesome. Remember: slow and steady wins the race. Also, you do not want to shock your body with 5 pounds a week, no need for that. Yo surgeon is strange...

But I think doing NS will mess with your weight loss on the long run. I hope I am wrong but working night duty is such a big shock on your body's rythym ... I wish you the best, just try to eat during your shift, and get minimum of 8 hours of sleep during the day!

Thanks Green*eyed*girl. unfortunately I've been on night shift most of my career (over 8yrs with this job) But I'm trying to get a position on days. It would be nice to spend time with family, friends and not feel like a total zombie all the time.
