Eating schedule?



Recommended Posts

We know blizair adheres to a pretty tight eating schedule. How does everyone else do it? Do you have set meal and snack times? Do you just eat when hungry? I feel willynilly and I hate it. We've been doing home improvements and I'm retired so I have no schedule.

I go hours without eating when I get busy. It was easier the first three weeks when I wasn't doing much.

So what's everyone's eating plan like?

I am never hungry in the morning and at first I was forcing myself to eat. What I do now is just eat lunch earlier. My schedule looks like this

breakfast- 6:30-7:30 on my commute to work. coffee.

Lunch-11:00-11:30- usually leftovers always Protein.

Snack-3:30-4-30 on my commute home a Protein Shake or cheese stick ect

Dinner- 6:30-7:30 always protein and veggies

Snack- only if I am hungry always protein.

This is just a general schedule. Life happens and we need to adjust. I don't feel very hungry on some days and I have to remember to eat, other days I do feel hunger. It definitely takes some getting used to.

I started out with alarms on my phone. Then I quit my job and moved across the country. I find that waiting to drink for 30 min and getting all of the fluids in, helps me space my eating to every 2-3 hours. If I go longer than 3 , I feel like I'm starving.

I get that "I have to eat NOW" feeling at times. I just wish I'd get it more so I would remember. My phone is nothing but alarms! Mostly for Vitamins and medication. I should eat anytime one goes off. Hey! I think I just solved my problem. (Sometimes I make things harder than they need to be) [emoji23]

I have to eat with my Vitamins otherwise I get nauseous. Eating every 3 hours has turned out to be very helpful for me. If I do feel hunger, I know my next meal is very soon.

Here's what I started eating yesterday:

8am Breakfast: egg whites and 2 ultrathin slices of cheese

11am snack 1 - yogurt

2pm Lunch: 4oz LF cottage cheese, 2oz apple sauce

5pm - Dinner: 3oz chicken. I made a small amount of potatoes but I couldn't eat them

8pm - Snack 2 - 4oz Halo top ice cream

      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.
