I am 15 months out. I hit goal 2 months ago and even went 10 pounds below goal. Latley my hunger has been out of control and lead to night snacking. Sometimes I will eat for example a chicken breast on a bed of spinach but still be hungry. Or a bowl of turkey chili and still hungry. I take Pepcid AC so I don't think ya acid. In the middle of the night I will wake up ravenous and that leads to bad choices because I am tired. So I will have peanut butter or crackers which I keep on hand for the kids. This snacking has lead to a 5 pound gain. I am still under goal and bmi is 23 but I don't want to go above. I am constantly hungry and I eat 12-1300 cal a day. Does anyone have any tips?

Another idea .. middle of the night foraging is an old bad habit of mine so when the urge hits and I can't sleep I have a premier protein drink. 30 grams of protein and 5 carbs. It is thick and soothing and sweet so it satisfies that urfe.

The protein drink is a great idea. My nutritionist told me to not take my vitamin at night. She has read that some vitamins may keep you awake. Not sure if this is actually a fact, but my Nurse Practitioner daughter agreed with her. So I make sure I take my last vitamin (1 of 2 ) during the day by 3:00 PM. I do wake about 2:00/3:00 PM but I just roll over and go back to sleep. No hunger at night so I consider myself lucky for that.

All great ideas everyone! I will try the Prilosec and stocking up on premier protein.

Do you have seasonal allergies? I am now ~15 months post surgery. Last fall and again this fall I found myself with unexplained and insatiably hungry. I now recognize what I experienced as untreated allergies and it's post nasal drip that can seem like hunger. Once I treated my allergies (Claritin was all I needed) and the patience for my allergy season to pass and my hunger is back to normal and controllable. Good luck

I don't have allergies but that's good to know scooter girl.

Try veggies with hummus it has some Protein. I know some folks may say no to this one but I have Peanut Butter in the night if I wake up. It seems to help me a lot.
