Why is it important to eat after dinner



Recommended Posts

Basically I am speaking on the premise that the person gets up I'm the Morning and in bed by 11pm

Personally, I have an after dinner snack of cheese or a small piece of chicken because I know I truly am hungry. I can't eat enough to stay full for 12+ hours! I have 4 bites for dinner at 5pm. That is NOT going to last me until 730am without wanting to eat. I have a piece of cheese or a small 3 bites of chicken at about 10pm to hold me over. If I don't I go to bed hungry and uncomfortable. I'm 3 1/2 months out and down 74 lbs. I don't think you can consider this sabotaging my entire process. But please feel free to bad mouth me if you feel it necessary. Seems these threads have gotten less and less supportive lately.

I would like people's opinion on size of meals I don't think doctors expect for the person to continue having 4 Oz meals because by no stretch of the imagination can someone work all day and expect to be eating 6 to 8 times a day to get nutrition from food sources excluding Protein Drinks. I could be wrong but I would hope to have the capacity to eat a small meal 3 times a day to get the nutritional sources.

      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.
