Is anyone else having a problem where you feel hungry late at night? I eat during the day what I'm suppose to but around 1130-12 I feel sooo hungry .. I fight the urge to eat but it's an annoying feeling :(

Check with your nut. mine had me eating a small high protien snack at 10 pm. ( based on my schedule) to avoid this occuring. her rational is since you sleep for 6-8 hours a night she wants high protien in the system to get you through. Protein burns more efficently and longer in you system, so just a wee bit gets you through. this does work for me. hope this helps.

one other point is this all fits into my plan. i account for this in my protien count and calorie count for each day.

Anyone have insomnia and nightmares after surgery? I used to NEVER have a problem sleeping. Now it's all I can do to get to sleep and when I do I have nightmares. I've been taking Xanex to help me sleep every few days but I don't want to get addicted to them. I've tried ambian (swallowing) and melatonin (also swallowed whole) but they don't seem to help. Any tips or tricks?

Not since surgery, but I know I had strange dreams when I took melatonin

I had insomnia before surgery and I would snore really loud, after surgery, I sleep like a baby, no nightmares, no snoring, as soon as my head hit the pillow, I'm off to a deep sleep, I bet it's your needs that's keeping you up and having nightmares.

Ok I'm there. 2.5 weeks out and I just wish that I didn't ever have to eat at all. Nothing tastes right and everything makes me feel blechy. :(

I totally understand! I am 5 1/2 weeks post op, and nothing has tasted great to me either. This weekend has been better. Just keep trying new things. Eventually something will taste good.

I found a new protein bar! It's called PowerCrunch. I had peanut butter creme for breakfast. It was very light and tasty. Not thick like normal protein bars. It has a bit too much fat, but sugars are low.

I got them at Harris teeter

QUESTION: Hi everyone...I am almost 3 weeks out from my surgery & am having an awful time trying to eat...I noticed that after about 2 spoonfuls (baby spoon being used) I'm burping (sign of fullness)...today I wasn't sure & tried to eat a little more & I got ill...as it stands I'm not even getting 1/4 c. I'm feeling like crap & do well to eat once a day...so the question is has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks I hope you have a great day!

You must eat three times a day, even if it's just a little. For no other reason this will establish good eating habits.I wasn't eating very much at your stage....maybe 6 Tbls at most.
