I cannot eat after 9pm. I think maybe a few times my band had mercy on me while I was out with friends. I was just discussing this with my sis last night.

While I normally don't eat at 9 or after; between work and getting to the gym I often eat at 8. I asked the Nut. and she said that the biggest issue with people eating late is that they often go for high fat calorie foods (nachos, pizza). That if I was eating 3 oz of lean Protein and 1 cup of veggies no sauces she did'nt have a problem with that.

Thats my biggest downfall, actually the fact that I havent really started any specific exercise program and Im a year into it. I've lost 60# and I would have lost alot more if I could stop eating in the evening, thats always been a problem for me.

SF2009- it's acually about 9-9:30pm for me too! I've been tod that your band can be tighter normally at night/early in the morning....i knew i wasn't the ONLY one, but its nice to hear it for sure. There have been a FEW occasions where it was ok...but not many. Sometimes I'm at work until 10pm so it's either eat when i get home or be hungry, which guarantees a problem too...

Honk- i understand what the nutritionist is saying, however for me that includes healthy food. I don't eat fast foods anymore and physically can't eat pizza...so even my go-to food that is filling, healthy but also pretty much a slider food (SALAD!!!!) will come up if i eat it too late....

loserbob- being almost 2 years out now, i am JUST getting into a good workout routine. I've lost 70lbs without much working out at all...i did it in spurts for the longest time but NOW i'm enjoying it again. You'll get there! Don't do the whole "if i had worked out sooner, i would have lost more by now"...i did that for a LONG time...only makes you feel bad. Now if i say it, it's in a matter-of-fact way and i'm not upset by it :)

I eat at weird hours because of my job. I am a nurse and work a 12 hr night shift 3-4 days a week. So a lot of times I have to eat at "night". It is not a prob for mr , but I am definitely tighter when I wake up no matter what time if day that ends up being. Can't eat for a couple hours after I wake up

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
