night time snacking



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for how to control night time snacking. I am able to have great will power all day-but I have the hardest time controlling my eating in the evening. I am not hungry - I know I am not hungry....Oy! I have been at a plateau for 2 months now and am getting frustrated especially since I only have 20 pounds left to get to goal.

Hi. We must be sisters.... or twins maybe. I could have written your post - well - except for the almost to goal part. I too can do great all day, and then blow it at night. It's like I just lose my mind. I'm sure knowing you are not alone is not the help you were looking for, but... thank you for the post, and I will be anxious to read the replies. Maybe we could live together and keep each other out of the kitchen at night :confused: Good luck!!

I'm really struggling right now. I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation and under a tremendous amount of stress at work. I've been snacking like crazy...a cookie here and there and just overall bad choices with Snacks. During the day I'm great...no bad choices at all.

I always struggle with snacking, especially since I'm a night owl. I keep a bag of small apples in the fridge just for that. It satisfies my desire for something sweet, and it lasts a long time because I have to chew, chew, chew. It's low in calories and it helps me get in enough Fiber, something I've struggled with since being banded.

Have you tried having a hot milky drink at nights? for some it fills them up, relaxes them & good for a sleep..or low calorie Soup?

I always snack in the evenings. I allot for it though throughout the day. I know that I am gonna want trail mix or something so I just keep the portions smaller in the mornings to make up for it.

      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.
