Is there anyone who's working nights with DS? How are you feeling? Are you able to keep up with eating? How about weight loss/maintenance?
I was moved to nights because I switched departments at work and will likely be on nights for some time. Maybe 1-2 years. We move to days by departmental seniority/medical necessity. I worked dayshift after my surgery and my weight loss was slow, but consistent. I'm concerned because I've lost 8 pounds in the last week alone. I have been able to manage my vit schedule with nights, but eating is SO incredibly hard. I've done a lot of protein shakes because they're fast and easy. I've tried eating junk (carbs....lots of carbs) thinking that would help slow the weight loss down. I'm not really sure what I need to do. I've worked nights before years ago and that alone makes you feel nauseated and gives you loss of appetite. I'm scared I may lose more than I should. (I'm especially scared I'm going to waste away....even if it's an irrational fear) I'm really happy with the weight/size I am right now. I don't want to lose much more. I'm 5'6 190 and a size 14. I feel really good and healthy where I'm at. I understand that it's still overweight, but it's 110 pounds down from where I started in March.
Advice?
