This one will be much easier for me! My routine is a little tv, shower, brush teeth, then some sudoku and Pandora in bed.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Wow! No eating 60 minutes before bed. That going to be hard for me! I actually have a snack before bed that was scheduled in by the surgeon as I was waking up with a growling stomach in the middle of the night every night. It will be interesting to see how this goes.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>48 ounces in. I may regret every one of them on my drive to support group! Which starts at noon and I’m late leaving for! I’ll report in again later!

@robin-miller, I have had a similar discussion with my bariatric doc, and where we landed was that I actually do eat in the middle of the night. (I always wake up around 12:30 – I go to the bathroom and eat a protein bar that I have sitting by the bed). This keeps me from waking up with low blood sugar. For me, this works much better than eating before bed; it’s more about eating every 4 hours or so to keep my blood sugar stable.

The thing is for me is that I just won’t get up in the middle of the night and eat. My husband does it all the time and apparently has done this all his life. Me, on the other hand, will lay in bed, not sleeping because my stomach is growling so much and, almost literally, can’t make myself get up and eat something. If it happens before I get to sleep, I’ll end up getting up and eating about a third of the time. If I have been asleep and wake up that way, I just won’t get up to eat. I guess I figure I’ll get too awake to go back to sleep, instead I just doze off and on for the rest of the night, telling myself that I should get up and eat something.

I think I can do no eating better than the water. I’m glad it’s not stacking two seemingly impossible on top of each other. I NEED to remember not to eat, and this will be a good reminder, but not as challenging. The 72 oz still feels daunting.
Perimenopause is not playing well with my antidepressants. I would like to resign from the world for a little bit?

56 ounces so far. Had cherries over an hour ago, finished a protein drink a few minutes ago. Will go to bed in about an hour. Been drinking about 55 to 60 ounces a day (occasionally more), and still only go to bathroom three times a day. I need to start pushing fluids earlier in the day. I WILL make it to 72 this week!
