Hello all, I am progressing nicely but I am having some struggling moments and thought I would seek help. First, I am feeling hungry every hour on the hour, I can take it throughout the day but at night it literally wakes me up and I don't want to eat bad, so what are you guys snacking on at night that is healthy? Also for the women who have monthly cravings, what are you guys snacking on?

Thanks for any input!!!

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

High protein snacks! Cottage cheese, ham and cheese rolls, a few bites of a quest protein bar,

It am almost three months post op and my monthly cravings are awful I eat bad each time.

Next month I am going to make a fruit and yogurt smoothie and see if that helps my sweet tooth because cookies and chocolate will kill me in the long run.

My program doesn't allow Snacks. Are you on a PPI? My doctor keeps trying to take me off mine, but without it, the acid sure mimics hunger.

If I have a very light lunch (like today I had maybe a couple tablespoons of tuna), I might have a spoonful of nut butter (sunflower seed butter) a couple of hours later.

If you are hungry within an hour of eating it might be acid and/or thirst. Are you staying hydrated?

Otherwise, if you snack, make sure you plan for high Protein Snacks and record them.

I like string cheese, cheese, cottage cheese, protein pudding, Protein Bars, etc.
