I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the fill section.

Pre-fill on Monday I was eating 3 small meals aday and feeling content unil the next meal time, for the most part. I would also have a few bites of cheese, or something in the evening for a snack. (even though the my dr prefers no Snacks at all), If I was really hungry still.

After fill #1 of 2.5 cc, I am not hungry in the am. I may have a bite or two of oatmeal or something but thats about it. I have a small/reasonable lunch and dinner, but by about 8pm, I am starving. I have been drinking lots of Water, and I am sure that I am hungry and this is not just head hunger. I wasn't hungry like this before, and my next fill is 6 weeks away. I am not sure what to do.

Is it bad for me to have a snack in the evenings? Should I just keep ignoring the feeling? (this is getting hard to do). Does anyone have any suggestions for good night time snacks? I hate going to bead with a growling stomache.

im the same as you so far ive had 2 fills i find the worst time is at the weekends i try to self restrict im due for my 3 fill in about 4 weeks time it does get better the closer you get to that sweet spot

i had my band on Jan.14th and I get my first fill in 2 weeks. I am dying at night. I get so hungry at night. My hunger pains have never been so loud or so bad. I never was this hungry before I had the band. I am not sure what to do about it either, but I know I cant go to sleep with the growling like that. What to do, What to do????

I use to have the same problem hungry at night.I would drink a glass of water and wait an hour and if I was still hungry I would have a cup of strawberries or Soy Crisps,usually that would help,but don't worry when you get filled to the right spot hunger want be an issue as much..

I went thru this as well. My dr. said I wasn't eating the right food for dinner if I was still hungry. I know that when I eat salmon or tuna for dinner I am so full I feel like I could bust. I have had 4 fills, the last one was in Sept. If I do get the urge to have a snack I have a cheese stick or yogurt. Good luck with that battle! I had fallen back into the snack habit bad. I am trying to avoid it as much as possible! It is a Daily battle for me.

Hunger is hard for me too at night. Especially when I work out in the evening. I've been eating Atkins protien bars that I put in my workout bag. It had done the trick so far for me.

I find that when I eat breakfast...enough proteins before 5pm.I do pretty well...800-1200 calories kinda work..but, I think if you try some things out..and get some good exercise in...Do your thang!

I love a small snack at night before bed! It helps me feel content and stops the evening tummy growls which I get without it.

I keep it reasonable, though. A Laughing Cow Lite wedge or two, or a 60 cal pudding...something small. If the rest of yoru days' calories are not too high, a small snack at bedtime is no problem at all, IMHO.

I am going in this week for my first fill. Right now I get so hungry like I did before I was banded. Will it less better the fills? I get to the point at night my stomach is growling so loud and it hurts. What can I eat at night that wont be so bad for me? I am in desperate need of hunger help!!!

Night time hunger attacks all of us, but at the same time dont starve yourself. If you must eat a midnight snack try to find something like what I did. I found a nutrition bar that is actually also scientifically proven to curve appetite, its called the control bar, you can check it out here.

Adkins advantage shakes/bars are pretty much the same thing but without all the carbs, and alot cheaper, at least at Walmart.
