Started my pre-op diet and working 3rd shift now. Do i have my shakes overnight if i had them during the day?? My pre-op diets is 4 shakes a day, 8-8oz glasses of water or sugar free fruit2o, 1 meal with 4 oz protein and green veggies daily. I am wondering if anyone else has had to do this while working overnights. And how it worked out for them??

i drink mine during the night...i work 10:30 pm til 7:00 am...i sleep during the day and usually get up about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. i usually drink one about 4:30 or 5 then another right before i go to work. i drink another about 1:30 am then again about 4:30 am. i'm on shakes only...nothing else. it's tough for me to make sure i get the shakes in...i think my body is trying to revolt lol

I work 3rd shift 7p-7a... Life of a nightshifters... I do my shakes at night just I would during the day on my days off. I stick to the same times I simply do them in the middle of ye night.

Thanks guys!! I am just going from 1st into 3rd and my schedule is awkward right now.... So I had my shakes all day then had to work a night shift just did not want to over do it. Half of my preop diet will be days and half overnights. You know... To make things 10 times harder for myself lol. Changing shifts right before surgery sucks!!

Once you get used to being a night time mushroom you'll be fine. Instead of using the Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks food logs I break mine out to Midnight to 6am, 6am to Noon, Noon to 6pm and 6pm to Midnight. It's much easier for me than trying to figure out what should be dinner and what should be breakfast and is a shake a snack or a meal? lol I'm with BusyBeingMe - I keep (almost) the same schedule when I'm working and when I have days off. It has really made working nights a lot easier for me. I've been working nights almost all of my adult life though.
