I was band on 2/19/13 have lost 25lbs since but have desire to eat late at night. All day i am not hungry then night i crave food! Help!

Try sugar free hot chocolate or SF apple cider to feed the sweet tooth and relax before bed.

Night time has always been my weakness. What's worse, my metabolism is as such that I can't eat at all after 7pm and still lose weight.

It will sound weird, but I've kinda tricked/trained my brain. Every night when I get the urge to graze, I take a hot bath and brush my teeth. Now, when I do, it's like my brain goes "oh ok, it's bath and clean teeth time, no more eating". I'm then fine the rest of the night.

Sugar free popsicles and herbal teas are my evening go to things to avoid snaking.

I used to eat at night , especially after my husband went to bed, so he couldn't see what I was eating.. I would eat huge bowls of ice cream or peanut butter and crackers, chips, anything junky.. always went to bed with a full stomach.. since getting ready to be banded and after being banded if I feel hunger at night I drink something, then go to bed... my eating at night habit has stopped and I am truly sleeping better for the first time in years... I think it;s like any bad habit and can be broken.. mind over matter.

I also struggle with that. Drinking water or hot tea helps.

At night is when my BIG SWEET TOOTH kicks in. I strugle with that so bad. I will sometimes have a cup of decaf cofee with my fat free cream. Its 75 cals (way better than anything else sweet) . I love the sugestion to brush my teeth. I am going to try this tonight. Tks for the post.

If I am craving something sweet, I have one of my Bariatric Calcium chews. I ordered them from amazon.

Sometimes I will also make half of a chocolate Protein shake and heat it up so it tastes like hot chocolate.

Sugar Free Popsicles OR a cup of strong decaf coffee is what I use.
