HUNGRY!

[artymama 170]

9 weeks post op and I find I need to eat every 2 hours or so. It's kind of annoying because when the hunger strikes its pretty annoying. How often do others eat?

I'm only allowed three meals a day so that's how often I eat. I rarely get hungry between meals though. If I do, I have a Protein Shake. I'm just about 10 weeks out now.

At mealtimes are you eating until you feel full or a set, measured amount? I'm curious how it works at 10 weeks.

I eat until I am full. But depending on what u r eating. I can eat a cup of greek yorgat or 3 oz of chicken. I am 3 months 3 weeks out and have lost80 lbs.

I eat until I feel full or until I hit 3 ounces of food, whichever comes first. The vast, vast majority of the time I feel full before I get to three ounces. Particularly if I am eating meat -- I think I managed to eat 2 ounces of meat a couple of times, but usually my limit is about 1.5 ounces. I try not to push it.

The 3 ounces is a rule from my surgeon, not a self-imposed one, but as I said, it's usually more than I can eat anyway.

I find that if i don't eat every two hours or so I don't get enough calories or all my Proteins in. I don't do Protein shakes anymore.

I eat about 5 oz for a meal, 3 times a day. If I get hungry in between I get something small, like string cheese or something. But, I've had days where I get hungry every 2 hours...
