Hi...I'm a Grazer too. I am 5 months out and I have still lost 94 pounds. I try to sip Water as much as possible between meals. That helps..as and long as u are making healthy choices then u should be OK. Now if u start eating fried foods and junk then that is bad. Good luck

Are you grazing on fruits and veggies only? While, yes, they are typically good for you the better option is a high Protein meal/snack. Especially during weight loss, otherwise you're only feeding your body carbs (good carbs) instead of protein which means you may lose muscle before fat. Did your doctor give you a diet plan? Are you getting 70-90g protein daily?

I guess you could say I graze in a way. It seems like I eat all day everyday. But i keep my Proteins 60% fats 20% carbs 20%. Plus i have never exceeded 800 calories yet. Protein is the utmost best choice like stated above. Why even eat fruits n veges when you can have a v8 and count it toward your fluids?

My nutritionist says if we are feeling hungry, up our Protein. Have you tried that? I know it helps me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
