Topic: RE: Not eating
I struggle with night-time hunger too. I do great all day, and eat an appropriate dinner, then I am tempted to graze all night. I'm not being too terrible about it, but it is a constant battle...more than it should be! I've started eating popcorn (with lots of chewing) and allow myself some every evening if I've gotten all my protein in for the day. It gives me the crunch that I crave and fills me up too. Plus, as long as your choosing the right kind, it's not too high in calories or fat.

Topic: RE: Not eating
I cant be of much help b/c im the exact opposite. I still love my food and wanna eat all the time. Its mostly at night when Im bored but I really have to watch it. I also still do protein supplements. I add 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder to my coffee for breakfast. It really keeps me full until lunch. You really are gonna have to make sure your getting ENOUGH calories also. That will throw you in a stall faster than anything. Ive been on both sides. When i dont eat enough calories, I stall, but if i feel like im eating like a pig i still lose. But I exercise ALOT, so that def makes a difference. So now that your more active and not getting enough calories, your body doesnt have enough fuel to burn. Hope this helps

Topic: Not eating
After seeing the post about what you are eating now in our 8th month, I have to ask, is anyone not really eating? I have had no appetite or desire to eat, and can go 2 or 3 days before I realize I haven't actually had a meal. I am still doing protein shakes and try to do 2 a day with at least on real meal (usually dinner). I spoke with my surgeon and nut about this at my 6 month and they agreed that I need to do the shakes if I'm not eating, but I wonder if I'm not hurting myself by doing this. My weightloss has really come to a crawl - 13lbs since May 22nd, even though I've started working out and being a lot more active outdoors (hiking/kayaking/etc) and am definately burning more than I'm consuming. Anyone else in this situation? ~jenny

Topic: RE: WOW Day!!!!
CONGRATS!!!!! I'm so happy for your success!! It's so great to hear of everyone doing well...I was at a stand-still for quite a while...so I did the 5 day pouch test and lost 10lbs...I know have about 20-30 more pounds to be at my goal weight. (my doctor has my goal weight at 149lbs and I'm 5'11" tall!) I think his goal weight is a little off for me and I will fell comfortable at my goal weight. Enough about me......Congratulations again and keep up the great work! Your Friend, Amy
