Night time hunger



Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the fill section.

Pre-fill on Monday I was eating 3 small meals aday and feeling content unil the next meal time, for the most part. I would also have a few bites of cheese, or something in the evening for a snack. (even though the my dr prefers no Snacks at all), If I was really hungry still.

After fill #1 of 2.5 cc, I am not hungry in the am. I may have a bite or two of oatmeal or something but thats about it. I have a small/reasonable lunch and dinner, but by about 8pm, I am starving. I have been drinking lots of Water, and I am sure that I am hungry and this is not just head hunger. I wasn't hungry like this before, and my next fill is 6 weeks away. I am not sure what to do.

Is it bad for me to have a snack in the evenings? Should I just keep ignoring the feeling? (this is getting hard to do). Does anyone have any suggestions for good night time Snacks? I hate going to bead with a growling stomache.

i had my band on Jan.14th and I get my first fill in 2 weeks. I am dying at night. I get so hungry at night. My hunger pains have never been so loud or so bad. I never was this hungry before I had the band. I am not sure what to do about it either, but I know I cant go to sleep with the growling like that. What to do, What to do????:rolleyes:

I use to have the same problem hungry at night.I would drink a glass of Water and wait an hour and if I was still hungry I would have a cup of strawberries or Soy Crisps,usually that would help,but don't worry when you get filled to the right spot hunger want be an issue as much..

I went thru this as well. My dr. said I wasn't eating the right food for dinner if I was still hungry. I know that when I eat salmon or tuna for dinner I am so full I feel like I could bust. I have had 4 fills, the last one was in Sept. If I do get the urge to have a snack I have a cheese stick or yogurt. Good luck with that battle! I had fallen back into the snack habit bad. I am trying to avoid it as much as possible! It is a Daily battle for me.

Hunger is hard for me too at night. Especially when I work out in the evening. I've been eating Atkins protien bars that I put in my workout bag. It had done the trick so far for me.

I find that when I eat breakfast...enough Proteins before 5pm.I do pretty well...800-1200 calories kinda work..but, I think if you try some things out..and get some good exercise in...Do your thang!

I love a small snack at night before bed! It helps me feel content and stops the evening tummy growls which I get without it.

I keep it reasonable, though. A Laughing Cow Lite wedge or two, or a 60 cal pudding...something small. If the rest of yoru days' calories are not too high, a small snack at bedtime is no problem at all, IMHO.

I am going in this week for my first fill. Right now I get so hungry like I did before I was banded. Will it less better the fills? I get to the point at night my stomach is growling so loud and it hurts. What can I eat at night that wont be so bad for me? I am in desperate need of hunger help!!!;)

Night time hunger attacks all of us, but at the same time dont starve yourself. If you must eat a midnight snack try to find something like what I did. I found a nutrition bar that is actually also scientifically proven to curve appetite, its called the control bar, you can check it out here.

Adkins advantage shakes/bars are pretty much the same thing but without all the carbs, and alot cheaper, at least at Walmart.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
