TMyers1471 87 Posted August 26, 2012 I went in for my 3 month check up this week. Blood work was great! My doctor said that most patients have lost 20-30% of their excess body weight by this time. I have lost 55%!!!! My doctor did not seem concerned about that, but my NUT did. She said that I should be eating 3 small meals a day and one snack. I tried and tried to tell her that I just can't eat very much at all. She gave me sample meal plans, and there is NO WAY I can eat all that at once. I was eating small Protein enriched Snacks every two hours. She wants me to stop doing that because it can cause me to make a habit of "grazing." What is the problem with grazing if you can only eat an ounce or two of anything???? I'm so confused. Did anyone else lose this fast? I walked out feeling BAD for losing.

skye 46 Posted August 26, 2012 I think she needs to make up her mind if your meeting your calorie requirement and doing it with small frequent meals and losing who,to,say she right if your comfortable and doc is ok I think your doing great 3 PEvette, TMyers1471 and 2bsmallagain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2bsmallagain 156 Posted August 26, 2012 I also am a little over 3 months out and have lost over half my excess. I am eating and drinking all the time its all I do it seems. I cannot imagine trying to get more food in. Your metabolism may just be working well for you with what you are eating. I would just keep doing what your doing if your doctor is not concerned about your health than your doing something right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted August 27, 2012 I eat multiple meals all day. They are more like Snacks and It's better for me if I eat them slowly. I do measure everything and log it into My Fitness Pal. Do whatever works for you. If your blood work is fine and you feel fine then what is the problem? Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IsaacsGram 58 Posted August 28, 2012 Wow! I should be so lucky to lose 50% by 3 months! I agree with the others-if it's working for you-don't stop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
