Ok, so I'm only 5 days on the pre-op diet but I think I've figured out how to curb night snacking... Go to bed earlier. It mugh seem crazy but I tend to snack at night, watching tv, working on the computer..doing non essential stuff and just staying awake because. So I've still had the urge to snack but, I just go to bed. This new routine allows me to wake up and exercise because I've gotten my 8 hours and I feel refreshed enough to workout. Also by this time I am hungry and I've always been a person that skips Breakfast. So I am ready for my Protein shake and I get my breakfast in.... wow, just a little change in my normal routine has so many benefits... no snacking after nine, because I go to bed. Wake up and exercise. Eat breakfast. Find the little things you can do to make changes if you eat emotionally, or just because. It is a breakthrough for me, so I thought I' share.... 8:30-9 PM is my new bed time.

Smart!! Glad you've found something that helps. I've found that keeping myself on a strict schedule really helped me; looks like you're doing the same.

I've discovered embroidery (quilt blocks). It's cheap to do, keeps my hands busy, and since I don't want to get my work dirty I can't eat at the same time.
