Different Restriction through the day

[ResaRoo 77]

I’m 6 months post op mini bypass. I’ve noticed in the last month or so that I feel restriction still in the mornings and can eat very little (ex. 1/2 cup yogurt and some berries). But in the evenings, I can easily eat 2-3 times as much as in the morning before I feel the restriction. Is this common? Is it because I haven’t eaten at night so my stomach is less “stretched” in the morning? It just seems very odd. I find that if I’m not portioning out my meal properly in the evening, it can be easy to over eat, or at least eat more than I plan to eat.

I had that ever since.

I"m not sure about the restriction part, but I have pretty much zero interest in food in the morning, at from about 4:00 p.m. on, I could be an eating machine if I let myself...

@catwoman7 - THANK YOU! That is me too and I’m trying to figure out why that is because I eat most of my calories or when I’m going to give into my cravings. I don’t know how to break those feelings and habits.

Think about chronotypes. I'm definitely not the morning type of person. Every try to change that failed miserably. Best thing I ever did was accepting that I'm not a morning person and while working schedules can't be adapted in most cases at least eating schedules can be adapted accordingly to your needs.

Not eating when having no interest in food and eating when you're hungry is getting as close to acting normally around food as one can get.

I'm not sure of the biology of it, but the same thing happens to me too! It seems like my tum gets more tolerant toward foods thought the day? It's weird. And I'm not sure if this is the right way to approach it, but I usually don't snack at all throughout the day and save a few calories back so I can have a little healthy snack with my husband when we're chillin after the kids go to bed. Hahaha

I got the sleeve and I am exactly the same way. I was like this before surgery too though. I've never been able to eat in the mornings. I can not go to sleep hungry - it will keep me awake. And I can easily overdo it on the calories at night. I wish I wasn't like this. I've read you shouldn't three hours before bed, at least.. but like I said, if I do that I will toss and turn. It is frustrating!
