How often shoud one eat?

[Kimba Maria Wiggins 81]

I normally eat every 2 hours...but should I be eating that frequently? I'll take 2 Tbsp of yogurt and I'm done.

Should have been put on a plan by a dietitian, GP, or someone.

I eat every 2 to 3 hours, In the beginning you are definately going to have to eat every 2 hours to try and meet your Protein goals.

I'm at 10wks currently and I'm eating 3 times a day with 1-2 small Snacks per my NUT suggestion. However the first month post op all I did was eat and drink. Every two hours was about right.

I am a little over 5 months post-op, and I eat 7 times per day about 2 hours apart. I have been eating on this kind of schedule all along and it works beautifully.

Follow the recommendations of your NUT or physician. Mine specifically warned me in advance not to listen to any advice about eating every 2 hours or so. He told me your body needs to be burning fat inbetween meals and it can't do so if you are constantly consuming calories throughout your day. You will get most of your Protein requirements at first from Protein Shakes. Just 2 good protein shakes will supply you with all of your protein needs. For example, mine was 30 grams for one serving. So I drank 2 a day and then my meal was usually a salad with lean meat.
