i haven't had my surgery yet its not even scheduled yet but i have this problem as well mostly at night and reading your message i realized it sounds just like what i went though quitting smoking! and at some point it becomes more about the habit needing to keep your hands and mouth busy until the craving passes for me im not hungry i just have this need to eat something anything so try finding something you can do to keep your hands busy like crocheting or knitting i love to paint and if you need chew on a toothpick or a straw i dont know if this helps but i plan on trying it i hope you get though it

Hi,
I am in the same boat. Constantly wanting to eat. Is there a live chat room where we can support each other?

Zara123, the closest this site gets to live chat is being able to leave a message.

Hi,
I had my surgery on June 2nd and am doing pretty well, but I too get very hungry at night. For me, it may be because I am not eating enough throughout the day, making me more hungry in the evening and out of habit. My "go to" is sugar free Popsicles. They crunch, are full of flavor, desert-like and provide a bit of hydration. I do not limit myself...just eat till my lips turn red or orange or purple! Good Luck.

Hi Rintin03, I hope you're doing well. The following are the food choices for an effective weight loss treatment.
1. Consume regular amounts of food at regular intervals of time.
2. Avoid consuming food or beverages containing sugar as much as possible.
3. Drink extra water.
4. Chew slowly and do not eat food hastily.
5. Consume lean proteins.
6. Exercise regularly.
