    Default Why Is It??????

    Why is it that I can go most of the day with minimal hunger, but at night I constantly want to eat??? I cant seem to feel the least bit full, even after eating a nice serving of dense protein like chicken or steak. Nothing seems to appease my hunger. Anyone else have to deal with this? I am almost five months out, so I don't think it's acid. I am actually still taking my Omeprazole.

    Night is always my hungrier time too. Maybe some of us secrete more ghrelin at night. I know I've always been a night eater, too.

    Are you eating enough during the day? Usually I can get by with a small snack, and cup of herbal tea if I had enough in during the day. If not, my face is in the fridge looking for more.

    Hi OAM! I think the evening hunger might just be an old habit not quite broken. Seems before my surgery I would always snack while perched on the couch watching tv. Now...no snacking! For me, I often ate in the evening just out of boredom. Now im finding myself doing other things while watching tv. Though I know it should be exercises im doing, tonight I worked on a grocery list and played the "friends" games on my tablet.
    P.S. you live about 1.5 miles away! imagine that!

    Oh yes! I was always a night eater. I agree with Luann that maybe you aren't eating enough during the day...? For me that's definitely true. If I was busy or not feeling well, and didn't eat like my usual schedule, by the time evening rolls around I just can't stop snacking. It's definitely an old habit too though.
    Stay strong!

    I found when I got to this point in the journey that some of my old habits were trying really hard to surface. I beating them down because this is the difference we must make to reconfigure our lives. It is very important that we change our old ways to acquire strength when we are weak and knowledge to know what is going on. Best of wishes to you!!

    I am a night eater too. I read an article about this. It's actually a type of eating disorder. I can't remember the medical term. It's when people hardly eat during the day and then graze all night and have over sized dinners like binging. I definitely used to do that and every night it is a struggle to not start the munching when I get home. This is going to be a hard habit to break for all of us. We can break the habit. We just have to do it one day at a time.
