 |  3 meals or all day eating
Ok, I was told that I should be eating 3 meals a day with no snacks, but now I hear people say that you should be eating throughout the day because that helps to lose weight! I have gained 2 lbs...how is that possible??? I eat approx 2 oz 3 times a day and try to eat them at exactly the same time.
And if you do snack, how do you get in the water???

ok...heres where it gets complicated lol (as if it wasnt already) you are most likely retaining water. dont worry it will pass.
as for the snacks and meals in the beginning i was told to get into a breakfast, lunch, dinner mode but that wasnt working for me. there were too many hours in between and being that i can only eat an ounce or two at a time, it was making me tired. so then my nut told me to eat every two hours, roughly 6 times a day. a snack is = to a meal anyways since its so small. she told me to makes sure there was always protein in all of my meals. and this actually works for me; especially now. i find the more i eat, the more my body lets loose (water, lbs etc) it might seem like a lot, but keep in mind its NOWHERE NEAR the amount you were eating pre-op. and it has nothing to do with hunger. for me eating is just to trick my body into NOT going into starvation mode. i dont get hungry really. most of the time its thrist in disguise. but i know i have to eat something at least 6 times a day; even if its a cheese stick, that counts as a snack/meal too! lol!
it will be easier to do this when you are on regular food.

OMG, I use to drink so much before the surgery! Now it kills me! I feel like I am going to float away!
I wonder if I should talk to my surgeons office and ask them about the snacking? I really dont think that i could eat every two hours though. I am lucky to make it every 5 hours! Bur, I do loveeeeee CHEESE! I could live on that if need be!

well maybe its too soon for it. but further out it might be an option. for me, i can tell when i need to eat again. i start dragging. especially in the afternoon when the time gets away from me at work and i "forget" that i havent eaten since lunch.

I usually have to stop eating before I am finished because I get this tight feeling starting.

Hey Kim
Your Pretty Early Out And Eating That Many Times A Day Doesnt Happen Overnite Believe Me. Remember I Might Of Had My Surgery On 7/16 But I Was In The Hosp For 10 Days With No Liquid Or Food And Then When I Got Out As You All Know I Was Still Having A Lot Of Problems. Im Only Working My Way Now To Snacking That Many Times A Day. What You Can Do Is Start Small Concentrate On You 3 Meals And Squeeze In One Snack A Day And The Following Week See If You Can Do 2 Snacks And So On.
To Be Honest I Find Myself Losing More Now Than Ever Because Im Eating More Which Means My Metabolism Is Moving To Burn Fat Where Before It Was In Starvation Mode And Was Holding On To My Body Fat Because I Wasnt Getting Enough Food.
Good Luck And Let Us Know How You Do
