Working 12hr shifts and eating with the Band

Thanks for posting this, and thank you for the replies. I too am a RN. I do worry about how I am going to eat well s/p band with out grazing or hurrying during my 12 hours. Usually it is 1:00 before I get to eat anything.

I saw my doctor today and had another fill. I spoke with my doctor today about this. We decided that on the days I work 12 hours I will take enough protein to make shakes to get me through of needed. On the days that I am not at work, I will make sure all of my protein comes from eating protein.

I have to say that this isn't a problem every time I work, but it has happened enough that I feel I need to address it. Unfortunately, I can't always take a break depending on what is happening with my patient. I'm sure many of my fellow nurses can relate.

Thank you to everyone!
