Why is it important to eat after dinner



Recommended Posts

Basically I am speaking on the premise that the person gets up I'm the Morning and in bed by 11pm

Personally, I have an after dinner snack of cheese or a small piece of chicken because I know I truly am hungry. I can't eat enough to stay full for 12+ hours! I have 4 bites for dinner at 5pm. That is NOT going to last me until 730am without wanting to eat. I have a piece of cheese or a small 3 bites of chicken at about 10pm to hold me over. If I don't I go to bed hungry and uncomfortable. I'm 3 1/2 months out and down 74 lbs. I don't think you can consider this sabotaging my entire process. But please feel free to bad mouth me if you feel it necessary. Seems these threads have gotten less and less supportive lately.

I would like people's opinion on size of meals I don't think doctors expect for the person to continue having 4 Oz meals because by no stretch of the imagination can someone work all day and expect to be eating 6 to 8 times a day to get nutrition from food sources excluding Protein Drinks. I could be wrong but I would hope to have the capacity to eat a small meal 3 times a day to get the nutritional sources.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
