I was banded oct 3 2012. I have stalled in weightloss the last month. I went to get my third fill and my nurse said i wont loose the weight working overnights. Im measuring and weighing not eating more than a cup at a time. I exercise one and sometimrs twice a day. I eat protien first and do shakes in between if i need to. Anyone work nights that had any advice how to get my body loosing weight again

Read this article, when working nights it can affect your sleep pattern and slow your metabilism. I have lost weight on nights before long before I was banded. I worked nights right out of nursing school and weighed in at 196 lbs, I joined WW with my mother and lost down to 124 lbs in a little over a year, now I did gain it back over time but the point is I lost the weight working nights.

I work rotating 12 hour shifts. Two weeks of days, two weeks of midnights. I just know when I'm on nights, I snack more.

Any advice?

Just try to only take healthy things to eat with you. And the biggest help for me, is I will not stop at a "quick stop" type store on my way to work. I try and prepare a couple meals with leftovers to have during night shift. Like a meatloaf, soup, etc. that way at least it's something I made and know what is in it. Ive been on shiftwork for twenty years almost, so I understand it's not always easy.

Thanks for the advice

I was banded 9/21/12 and I've lost almost 50lbs. I also work overnights from 11pm-7am. I have not changed my eating habit. I eat breakfast at 7:30am, don't eat lunch, and eat a small dinner. I only drink protein in the mornings and eat whatever I want for dinner but in small portions. The fills really control me...honestly.

It's hard when u work nights but try to eat a small breakfast like egg sandwich if u can tolerate wheat toast or just soft wheat or a small cup of oatmeal, then make a tuna, chicken salad or something u like that has protein for ur lunch or dinner at work if u need something in between take a protein drink or bar that u know makes u full these r just sugesstions but u need to find out what makes u full for the four hours so maybe it will help I have been trying diffrent things the other day I could only eat half of a whole wheat tuna sandwich and it held me from 3 pm till 8 pm and of cours I was busy so I didn't have time to think but I knew how my tummy felt so I thought that was pretty good & I go for my 3rd fill this wed , hopefully I won't need any mor but I have lost like 46 lbs since Sept so somethings working lol , I also have a variable scedule sometimes it's day, afternoon or nights so my body doesn't know if I'm up or down However I know I get up in the morning eat my breakfast , make something then I know I'll want later then I go back to sleep if I can then off to work I go. sometimes 6 days a week and I'm a deli clerk so I'm around food all day long oh ya I work in a grocery store lol
