Timing Your Meals

[TheNewSusie 471]

I already know that my sleeve is tight , my doctor told me to give it time, so that I understand but I still get full easily and I want to know how everyone times their food ? I think I'm eating too fast . How small r everyone's bites?

I'm curious to see some responses to this Susie as I am sure I will have the same issues from the same doctor.

Do you think maybe you should try to supplement 4-5 smaller meals instead of trying to push 3 until we get to where we can get whats needed in a meal?

Let me know what you figure out, I am going to need all the tips possible.

I've been trying smaller meals jenn but I still hardly eat . Which Im happy about but I really wanna meet my goals with Protein and calories and I barely am or not at all.

Considering the small amounts being eaten, I'd say have 4 to even 6 meals a day. I am averaging 3 to 4 bites before becoming very full. It's frustrating because I need to eat a bit more plus I am wasting food like crazy which makes me feel bad.

Keep your head high. We will figure this out.

I cut my food small like if you were feeding a 2 year old. Also a WW trick is to put your fork down between bites. This gives you time to cheese swallow and then pick up and cut the next bite. It gives your stomach time to tell your brain that it is full.

From what my surgeon tells me, you should be eating 1-2ounces every two hours or so. One of the girls here started out eating like that and lost weight quickly. When she finally went back to 3 times a day she stalled. Now she's back to every 2-3hrs and she's losing again.

I'm going straight for the every 2 hours as soon as I can eat.

I am almost 4 weeks po-op and a normal meal is about 4ounces. I am finding that a Protein Shake on the way to work, a mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner. I still do not eat anything after dinner. The last few days I have been able to take in 53 g Protein and about 450 calories. Hope it helps
