Night time snacking problem...help!



Recommended Posts

I have horrible night snacking issues. I thought eating normal meals during the day would help, but it didn't, so I'm back to skipping my b'fast and lunch most the time and eating dinner, then having my late night snacking.

I like 1oz of beef jerkey (70c) and/or (depending on what I've eaten for the day) 100c shortbread cookie pack. The jerkey lasts a while, and has Protein, so it generally satisfies me.. unless I also have a sweet tooth, and the shortbread Cookies have a lot in there, so by time I finish it, I'm done being in snack mode.

The 100c Sandies are YUMMY. I'll sometimes have those or boil some edamame to eat.

I have found South Beach Bars are really good - 19 grms Protein - they are big and 210 calories - Last night had one - cinnimon something and it was good - they have peanutbutter & choc too..

We don't have kids, so this might not work for everyone but we've removed everything sweet, salty or junk from the house with the exception of one bag of miniature Dove dark chocolate bars.

They're about 40 calories each and if you eat them slowly and let them melt on your tongue for the full "mouth experience" the craving for chocolate and munchies disappear (for us anyway).

We allow ourselves 2 per person as an after dinner treat. (DH is banded as well and is as much a chocoholic as me).

I went to snackaisle.com and ordered some lightly salted Edamame by Seapoint farms, Pretzel crisps (saw this on Unwrapped), Pita chips (also saw this on Unwrapped), and caramel covered Pirate's Booty.

Suppose to be organic and healthy stuff.. and everything had decent calorie count. I'll let you know if any of it's good!

I eat the frozen unshelled edamame by Seapoint Farms. They also sell frozen unshelled edamame in a Dora the Explorer package that contains 6 snack-size bags that you can defrost individually. I've thought about buying some of the shelled edamame and using it in Soups or as a side dish. I had teriyaki ginger chicken sausage last night, and that would have been good sliced up in some brown rice, mixed with shelled edamame and a little grilled pineapple.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
