starting over after port replacement

Where do I start I am 8 months out and finally after a port replacement last month I have some restriction.All the things I was excited about in the beginning are a blur.Please help me get hyped again.Its hard to start over again with all the water and protein .I like to snack at night but day times I am fine so finding it hard.

Well, I know it's a little different for those who are banded, but maybe when you are feeling the urge to snack at night you should snack on things that will sit in your pouch for awhile like baby carrots or something like that. I don't know if you would be prone to getting stuff like that stuck or not since it is a band, but if you snack on low calorie things like that you can keep yourself fuller longer so you won't have so much of an urge to eat the bad things. Another suggestion is to change your routine a little bit. If you have a certain time you usually want to snack, make a point to go out and do a little Christmas shopping or something like that. I find when I mix up my routine, I can avoid those pitfalls. Good luck to you!!! Dina
