Why is it important to eat after dinner

Night eating is a bad habit that was a big contributor to obesity. After a dinner it's not hunger that you experience but the mental obsession with food that carried over after the surgery.

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.
