3 Weeks Out, How Long Does It Take You To Eat A Meal?

[mnbsleeve 87]

Wow I can't believe at 8 month there is such a restriction to only be able to eat about 1/2 cup. He told me I could eat 8 oz. now, but like i said i can't, but I can certainly eat 4 oz! Do you wait 1/2 hour after eating to drink? Also do you only have 3 meals a day at 8 months and 2 Snacks? thanks!

I definitely wait at least 30 minutes after eating to drink! I don't generally snack either. My challenge has always been to eat during the day. I tended to not eat all day and consume calories for three people at night! LOL So now I focus on getting 3 good meals! On occasion I will have a snack. I noticed that right before my menstrual cycle I tend to experience more hunger. Otherwise I am one of those that doesn't really experience "hunger" per se. If I haven't eaten for quite a while I will get this gnawing feeling or an empty feeling and I know that I need to eat. Everyone is different though. That's how I've experienced it. My biggest struggle has been to get my Protein in!!! I still depend on occasional shakes. I'm generally not that attached to food. I tend to just fuel up. I'm very excited about feeling and looking good. I also noticed that when I look at pictures from the past, when I'm heavy, I become even more excited about my sleeve and it's "helpfullness" in not "needing" the food so much - in terms of that hunger and that urgency to eat. So overall, I'm just not as interested in food. I'm soooo happy though!!!! LOL
