I officially give up on sleep, with or without help I'm still awake so screw it!!!!!  I've noticed the last few days that I am really hungry after dinner, which is something new for me and it bugs the living daylights out of me.  Yesterday I tried something new with when I ate so am going to do the same today to see if it helps.  I find I am not hungry when I wake up and I never really want to eat til afternoon so I am going to just do a protein shake for breakfast, eat lunch at 1, then have a snack at 4 then dinner at 7 and hopefully that does the trick again. I left room in my menu in case the hungrie**** hard so I can have a bit more chicken or even a greek yogurt or an ounce of cheese.

 

B - protein shake

L - minestrone soup with 3 oz roast beef added, 1/4 cup Habanero cheese on top( look away Barb)

S - 2 scrambled eggs

D - baked chicken thigh, 1/2 cup quinoa salad

I blame you for my habanero fixation.......

Good plan re eating later....though I just read in the Globe this morning that we are better to eat high caloric in the morning and reduce our intake thru the day....but you have to do what works for you.....your plan makes sense to me....I can also say no to most things in the morning....and enjoy my nice cold protein shake....I need to save calories for my night snack

I know it's my fault, I never should have shared how good it was with you.  LOL

I've read that as well that our biggest meals should be early on and a light dinner but I've never been one to be hungry until afternoon even long before WLS.  This wanting to eat after dinner is all new to me. I was like that pre-op and on Optifast it almost killed me but then I started doing the herbal tea all night and for the last 8 years, it's never bothered me to eat at night but it's reared its ugly head this past week so have to find a way to stop it before it consumes me. I really don't want to snack after dinner as for me that is a trigger to graze but will allow myself a bit of room with calories just in case I really need it.  It doesn't even feel like head hunger, my stomach is growling and I drink a ****load of water and herbal tea to shut it up and it just keeps doing it.  Maybe things are changing after all this time but I don't like it one bit.

Morning everyone!  I can really relate to the evening munchies.  I gave in yesterday - at least I didn't have anything too awful, but I really need to figure out how to curb that.  The problem with not having tracked what I was actually eating for the last couple of months is that I have no idea what I need to eat and do physically now in order to lose weight.  My eating habits have changed and I have been both maintaining and losing a bit. But I don't know how I've been doing it.  So my menu yesterday was completely inadequate to what I actually needed, because back when I was planning menus, I was eating less than what I'm eating now.  So then I supplemented what I planned yesterday with other stuff, but it was too much. 

I think what I might do is just eat what I eat, and then track it throughout the day without planning it ahead - no matter what I eat, no matter what little snacks I have.  And then track my weight loss day by day as well to see what is working and what isn't.  I'll do what I was doing over the past couple of months - ensuring that I have protein with every meal and snack, stopping when I'm full, etc. - and then I can see how many calories I actually need in order to be comfortable and also maintain or lose, and what proportion works when it comes to balancing protein, fat and carbs.

I have my 1 year follow up appointments at TWH this afternoon - I'm working from home this morning beforehand.  They called me a month ago to let me know that today's appointments were cancelled and they asked me to call back and reschedule them.  I never got around to doing it due to being so busy at work and home.  Then I got a call yesterday from them letting me know my appointments are going ahead as scheduled today.  I said, "I thought they were cancelled - I didn't get my bloodwork done."  They said that it was fine and I could just go and do my bloodwork today.  So I guess that's what I'm doing this afternoon!  Maybe I'll ask about CBT, and I also need to have a good conversation with the dietitian about how I should be eating now at a year out since I've just been flying by the seat of my pants and not tracking for too long.
