How often is it okay to eat?

Eating a full meal three times a day is much different than eating a few bites six times a day, IMO.

Not a "full meal", as in what you would eat before the surgery, but three small meals a day. Every doctor is different but mine said no snacking during the day.

my nut tells me to eat 3 small meals and 2-3 Snacks a day, eating every 2 to 3 hours. I exercise 6 days a week, and have been extremely successful losing 83 pounds so far. I stick with high Protein low carb, no white carbs, but I am allowed high Fiber toast and English muffins. This is my life style and the way I will eat. I track every morsel of food, and I monitor my calorie intake. I eat 800-1200 calories a day. On Maintenance I will need to eat more. I could not get in my Protein in 3 meals. Nobody is fooling themselves, and everyones plan is different.

My doctor told me only three meals a day. Many people believe they can eat every two hours but my doctors says they are fooling themselves into trying to consume as many calories as they want. I eat three small meals a day, no drink until about 30 minutes after I eat, and then focus on the time in between meals for drinking liquids.

I think people here are forgetting that every doctor is different. Instead of people getting a bit huffy with me over my post perhaps they should realize this fact. I will follow what my doctor says and other people should follow what their doctors say. I'm very pleased with my weight loss so far and hope other people are pleased with theirs as well.
