[pebulz 135]

Ok im 6 weeks post op band to bypass revision ....my dr is super strict and wants me to eat 2 Protein Shakes and 1 meal a day (3oz lean Protein and 3oz cooked veg) and 1 snack a day if needed a yogurt or 1% cottage cheese....i try and follow as best i can but im only human and i had a few days were i.was so hungry and had been on a weight loss stall for a few days then i ate 3oz of refried Beans (which he doesn't allow) with a sprinkle of cheese and some taco.sauce for a few days and all of a sudden i lost 3lbs then a week or so went by and again weight loss stalled for a couple days and i had a bad day and snacked 3x a day for 2 days and also ate 2 meals and one shake and wala lost 4lbs....then i was reading on here and cant remember where and someone said as long as she ate every couple hours the weight fell off ......any truth to this???? I feel like the more often i eat the more im losing ...i am sticking to.the right foods except tje refried beans and cheese and i do weigh everything for a snack i eat 3 oz and for dinner 6oz total meat/veg if i eat a second meal i usually only do 3oz of protein and no veg

The more I eat the more I lose. Since I'm already tiny I try not to eat a lot so I don't disappear.

We need to feed our bodies, otherwise it thinks we are starving and will hold onto everything. This is one reason it is important to not skip meals, and to eat three meals a day.

Do you have any choice in foods? I hope you get some variety soon!

I have read that eating something.. Mind you not crap every 2-3 hours keeps your blood sugar level and you metabolism going. I do try and follow this rule. It's a very small amount.. Usually high in Protein ..
