Sleep eating during pre-op



Recommended Posts

So here I am again asking for advice....

I haven't slept walked for years..

I'm half way through my pre OP diet still have about 18 days to go.

I've been doing really well lately. Got over the hump...so I had thought.

Then it turns out last night I slept walked made my self a Peanut Butter sandwich. Ate it all except the crusts (which is odd I love the crusts) 😞

I've put baby locks on the pantry tonight. I don't really know what else to do.

I'm sorry, I had to smile big. I sleep walk, too. Haven't done it for years, but had done it since childhood.

The fact that your poor mind is so hungry, it's rebelling, idk I find it a little endearing! But do not despair, in my experience the baby locks should work. I used to sleepwalk and go around the house opening doors, but if a door was locked(even if the key was in it), I would move on after a couple times trying the handle.

I would suggest you put those baby locks on fridge too if possible, until your brain catches up to your new lifestyle. Or better yet, get rid of the bread, If you live alone. If you only keep healthy food in the house, even if you slip, you'd still be ok.

Best of luck you on your journey, and remember "One day at a time"!

I used sleep eat walk alot years ago

Try having your shake before bed so you dont go to sleep hungry. That seemed to be my issue, going to sleep hungry. Are you having all th reuired shakes and anything else you are allowed to have in the day?

Also, are you having your 3 litres of Water a day? When you are in the shakes phase your body gets extra thirsty due to ketosis so maybe your mind is confusing thirst for hunger?

Dont beat yourself up, you are doing your best just try gwt to bed a bit early and get so.e quality sleep with a full tummy of shakes. All the best with it!

I never thought of that lol I put baby locks on the pantry and fridge last night.
Didn't find any random bread crusts today so hopefully a good start lol

      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! 😞
