Can you guys share your typical eating scheduled? I'm struggling to get in sync with one and then find myself too hungry and eat too fast. Thanks

Pre-op or post-op, the schedule I observe has been pretty much the same. Breakfast shortly after I get vertical in the morning, a snack halfway through the morning, lunch at or a little after noon, another snack mid afternoon, and then dinner. Depending on how early dinnertime arrives, there will be one small snack in the evening.

Pre-op I had a calorie goal, so I did my best to distribute those calories across the schedule as evenly as possible. Post op, it is more about Protein goals. Calories aren't as important, or as many.

When I was in weight loss mode, my typical schedule was Breakfast - 7 AM, lunch - 1 PM, dinner 7 PM. If I got hungry between meals, I had a Protein Shake.< /p>

During meals, I used an app on my phone (I used Eat Slower) to make sure I didn't eat too fast. I also weighed or measured my food beforehand to make sure I didn't eat too much.

You can eat a little every few hours, and drink Water in between. That is working for me right now.

What app did you use to slow your eating down?

Hey thanks for the help on the app. Eating slow is my biggest struggle. I am ALWAYS on the go and it is difficult to stop and focus on eating.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
