Hi is there anyone that works the night shift ? I am having suck a hard time with getting in three meals a day since I'm sleep most of the day. I usually eat lunch at 2 am and maybe breakfast at 8 am then I'm sleep until 9pm which I wake up get myself ready for work and start my day. I tried smacking when I get up but then I'm not hungry when its lunch time. Any suggestions?,

If you can't get in 3 meals and you don't want them then don't have them. You do not have to eat 3, if 2 works for you , then stick with 2.

with this last fill its hard for me to want that 3rd meal but I do try to get it in. I track every bite so I also try to meet the calories count, I also make sure I have breakfast within a hour of waking whether I am hungry or not then I count 4 hours a head and notice the time and eat something...I often make up that last meal with a protient drink..its fast non filing and keeps the calories up so my body doesn't hold on to calories thinking I am straving it..It take calores to burn them so try to stay within a set calories count for the day talk to your doctor about what that should be mine are 900-1200 after 33 lb weight loss I am staying 700-900 and we will see how that goes.

Do not eat if you are not hungry and do not eat just to eat or meet calories. The goal of the lap band is to make you feel full longer on less food. Do not drink you calories/protein just to get it in. Some people keep getting fills and are drinking their protein. You have to eat solid proteins or you will never know how your band really feels or is working for you. Sliders go thru no matter what and then you just wasted what you could have really eaten, tasted and enjoyed. If you are off the liquid stage then get used to real food, you will have to for the rest of your life. It is pretty easy once you make the change. I do not drink any protein drinks anymore and eat two meals a day.

I would be sure to get your protein in.

Thanks everyone
