My nutritionist says to never eat more than 3 times a day to prevent grazing. They're all so different!

Me! I lost all my excess weight and have kept it off by eating on a schedule and eating every 2-3 hours.

2.5 years out, and it still works for me ;)

I eat every two to three hours.I eat less than 200 calories at every small meal and try to make sure there is 10-15 gram Protein minimum. For an example I may have triple zero Greek yogurt with five mixed berries and six to nine almonds.the next meal might be 1.5 scrambled egg with salsa,the next might be a balance protein bar.You get the idea.

How do you guys eat every 2 to 3 hours and still get all your liquid in? I am 4 months out and I am struggling with making sure I eat enough and drink enough each day.... after eating, I constantly feel full... then come time to eat again and I am full from drinking my liquid...

Definitely not complaining, just curious how you all pull it off...

For me I drink a half hour before I'm due to eat.at this point I can chug a 8-12ounce glass in five minutes. In the beginning it was a full time job to stay hydrated and that was my main concern, not eating.

I've timed my meals to coincide with my Vitamin schedule:

7:15 - Breakfast and Vitamin #1

9:30 - snack #1 and Calcium chew #1

12:30 - lunch and vitamin #2

2:30 - Snack #2 and Calcium chew #2

5:30 (ish) - dinner and calcium chew #3

Bedtime - vitamin #3

I need a schedule because i literally eat whenever. I try to stick to some sort of timing but essentially im just winging it. I suck at taking my Vitamins also. Don't know how my tests came back good. Luck lol. Anyone know of any apps or things i can do for timing my meals? My sleep schedule sucks also. Im just a hot mess lol ????

I'm three weeks out...I also struggle between eating & drinking & one or both go lacking because I'm often not hungry. Then I sip when I drink so takes me forever to finish. I can't tolerate taking my chewable Vitamins. They taste horrible & are too huge. I need to do so much better. Perhaps I need to make a schedule as well.

I eat 7-8 times per day. By the time I allow the appropriate time before and after drinking Water, it takes me 12-14 hours to get it all in, but it works!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
