Hungry at night

I had the band on November 2,2010 and lost 34 pounds so far. BUT, I am starting to go back to my old habits- snacking at night. This is really upsetting me, and I have already had a fill. I'm due for another one in a week, but I am afraid that I won't get one because I have only lost 3 pounds since my last fill. I do not feel full and am starting to eat larger portions.Does anyone else have this problem?

I have the night- time munchies a lot. Old habit of mine that I find very hard to break. I started making a bowl of hot cereal at night made with skim milk instead of water (whole grain cream-o-wheat, old fashioned oats -whatever you like) and I put a little Splenda brown sugar in it. Seems to fill me up and is good for me all at once.

Jen-

thank you!!! that helps a lot!

if  you are not getting full and able to eat larger portions with only a 3lb loss you definately need a fill...hang in there it's abndster hell right now! it will get better....try snacking on something high in protein....good luck!

i get the late-night munchies soooooo to fight the demons, i come on here. i also 'brew' a pot of ho****er in my coffee pot and have chai tea until i am drowning in it... and sf jello (sometimes a little whipped cream).

Sounds to me like you defintitely need a fill!

But i get the evenign mnchies!

Keep busy! Have a bath! Drink loads of no-cal fluids.

I often have a smooth yoghourt mid-evening. Anythign more solid and i will get heartburn when i lie down but a smooth yog tastes good, stops any genuine hunger and doesn't keep me awake.

My new favorite cure for the evening munchies is what I call my Butterfinger protein shake

1/2 of a banana
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1-2 scoops of vanilla or chocolate protein powder
6 oz vanilla coconut milk
6-8 ice cubes

I love it!

OMG this sounds so delicious, plus your protein powder.  I just got my band and am off clear liquids but still on "up a straw" foods.  I "regot" my nightime munchies for the first time last night.  I could have cried.  It's one of the main things that got me in this position, and didn't rear it's ugly head for a while.  I will try this!

umm, sorry if this is innapropriate and totally off topic, but it made me giggle (yes, i'm like a 12 year old) when i just noticed my previous post and why they put ********* in place of where i wrote about the temperature and the pot of water. yes, i know.. i'm a child.. just struck me as funny b/c i tried to figure out why it was blocked. anyway...........
