Night time food?

Did your nutritionist give you a time to not eat past? Just curious to see how everyone's rules compare. Has anyone found that eating before bed slows your weight loss or doesn't effect it at all?

    Good question, I just eat whenever. Early, late, as long as I'm getting protein and fluids right?!

My band nutritionist has not said anything about it but I have seen a nutritionist for years off and on for mineral insufficiencies. I have alway been told not to eat with less than 2-3 hours before bed. The reason I was given is that food is not able to flow as naturally toward digestion. I would imagine since the band is acting as a funnel, it probably isn't wise to eat close to bedtime with it either.

My NUT said nothing about what time to eat or not eat. I'm in the habit of not eating past 6 p.m. though...pre-surgery, if I ate later than that, I suffered horrible reflux when I went to bed, so I try to avoid that at all costs.

Ditto. No time constraints here. Sometimes I don't get home from work until 8-9pm. So I'm eating dinner at 9:30. In bed by 10:30. Even if I eat dinner at a "normal" time, I do have a bedtime snack. Usually cottage cheese and peaches, Greek yogurt, apples and PB, pretzel chips or nuts. Sometimes I 'm a really good girl and just have camomille tea. But at 6 1/2 months I'm 10 pounds under goal and still losing, so I gotta say it hasn't been detrimental for me.
