And as for the diet drinks the dr told me they are such a nono especially right after surgery cause the carbonation can hurt your new pouch. Hold some of it in your mouth after you drink it and see how big it makes your cheaks blow up and think of what that is doing to your pouch. Barry

Thanks Barry, I see what ya mean about the coke!! I'm quittin again!!I'm an addict when it comes to carbonation!! I haven't even thought about gettin a food scale , I'll go get one. DAWN

Ok here we go. b-protein shake l-cheese quesidilla snack 4 low fat ritz crackers with cheese supper- 2oz italian chicken(wonderful) 1 tbsp new potatoes(bad) snack 1 small piece of sf strawberry cheesecake Here is my problem during the night 2 sf peppermint patties 2 sf fudge cookies Go ahead and let me have it. I have got to stop but when I wake up I think about it being in there and can't go back to sleep till I eat something. Becky

I can't let you have it. I had a carb filled day myself yesterday. NOt to mention the fat I had too. But hey, we will do better today. That is all we can do. Dr. Carsons talked about night eaters. He said it was a form of an eating disorder. He said it was the easiest to treat because medication fixes it usually. I don't know what kind of medicine, but he said the night time eating is from a chemical imbalance if I remember correctly. I should have taken notes or something so I could share better information. Good luck this week. I am going to try to do good and pick healthy satisfying nutritioius stuff to eat this week. That is my goal anyway. I am going to try and get my 5 workouts in too as I did not do that last week. I had something going on every night last week. I got to exercise twice was all. Melissa
