How Many Times...

[robynluevano 85]

Do you eat a day? I've seen people say the eat only 3 meals, but some say they eat 3 meals & 2 Snacks. Which do you prefer? I usually eat 3 meals and at least 1 snack, whether that be a Protein Drink, or a wedge of soft cheese. I am 1 month & 3 days out. Just curious for the sake of being curious!

I eat something about every 3 hours. Sometimes it's nothing more than a serving of cold cuts, or a piece of cheese or Protein shake...as long as there is some protein.

That is me too butterthebean! I feel like I must eat every 3 hours or I feel weak. I just make sure it had Protein.< /p>

I started with six meal/snacks a day and dropped it to five after a month or so when I could get enough Protein and other nutrition in on just five, and there wasn't that much time between Breakfast and lunch to make the extra snack worthwhile. Now, in maintenance, I have added that sixth feeding back in to get enough calories in for the day.

I'm also 4 weeks out. I typically eat 3 "meals" per day and 1-2 Snacks. I'm getting enough Protein and fluids but haven't made it over 500 calories (usually closer to 400) since surgery. I know I should be in the 500-800 calorie range but have trouble getting there.....

I am doing good to get 400 as well, but some days if I am really good, I can get 500-600.

Me too Robin- and I was sleeved on May 15. I just looked back through my fitness pal- I have hit 500 calories exactly 4 times since I had surgery.
