Ok this is something I don't understand. I don't get hungry but around 7 or 8 at night I fight to control my appetite. I feel like I could eat everything in the house but I'm not hungry. What is the deal? Is my body craving something I'm not getting could it be dehydration? I am drinking close to 60 oz of water a day not including my orange juice I drink in the morning as part of my breakfast. I will admitted that getting my 60 grams of protein is hard. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I didn't come this far to fail now.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I do the same thing every nite. If I stay up past 8:30, I want to eat, but I am not hungry, I think it is boredom. If I just go to bed then, I am fine. I really am not hungry, it is just an old habit, bored=eat.

Yes I do believe eating because a person is bored. I think that is was one of my old habbits, now I try to keep myself ocupied and what really helps me when I am bored I go on this site and read the posts and look at before and after pictures and that really keeps me on track and my hunger just disapears and am not hungry at all becasue I get so involved reading and looking at pictures and posting what I feel and I got so many wonderful answers from my support family on this site. I am so grateful to these people and would never be as far if not for these people. Keep busy and the hunger will disappear.

If you're not really getting in as much protein as you'd like, maybe a small healthy protein snack is in order. My doc wants me to avoid eating after 9pm so I try to plan my last snack as something healthy but fulfilling - I like sweets so I have created a new snack made from sf jello cook pudding (french vanilla), 2 c ff milk, and 1 egg yolk. mix yolk really good and add to pudding/milk mixture and mix well, continue stirring while it cooks slowly. This has a nice amount of protein, calcium and yummy flavor - I like a tad of nutmeg on top. I have 1/2 c serving - is great especially warm. (do not do this if it will set you into carb craving mode) - for me its satisfying. Good luck!

same thing here, it could be

1) the winter which drives us more hungry need more energy!

2) mind hunger and not pouch hunger

3) being bored as many have said and it's emotional eating

4) we slipped out of the wagon and go back to our old habits, didn't we all eat like beasts 7:00Pm onward!

5) dehydration may also cause craving and hunger so if you replace snacks with water you wouldn't crave as much w/o drinking

6) could be that you eat lots of carbs during the whole day which may cause mre and more cravings --> more eating

I'm sorry can't think of more possibilities but I'm in the same shoes unfortunately! I need help too

I just had this conversation with my 11 year old, we both seem to get bored about this time and want to eat. She told me she was hungry, I told her no she was bored just like me so she and I started playing yahtzee when we get bored like that
