What are you average times you eat your 3 meals?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what time you all eat your meals and do you try to eat about the same time everyday? Mine varies a bit but not much.

My Dr. said NO Snacks just the 3 sm meals. But I do have some Diet Cocoa around 4:00pm (my rough spot of the day). :w00t:

B: 7:30-8:15

L: 12-1:30

D: 6-7:00

My Doc says no Snacks too - but if I do, make them small & healthy. Seems like the harder I work out the snack is needed.

B- 8:30-9:30am

L- 12:30-1pm

D- 5:30-6pm **trying not to eat after 6:30pm**

Snack - depends sometimes in late afternoon *ususally handful of almonds/walnuts*

I really appreciate the weekdays because I'm on a set schedule--the weekends are a killer because my hubby and I run constantly, so I'm doing the constant assessment as to where I am in the day and what I've had!! Weekdays are:

B 7:00 AM

L 12:00 PM

D 5:30 PM

Ebonie and Luluc, like you I have my Protein shake at about 3:00 PM just to make it through the afternoon. I also have a rough spot in the evening around 8:00, so I make up my 1/2 cup Protein instant pudding and that will satiate me until bedtime!! :w00t:

My doctor recommends 3 meals and no Snacks as well, but I usually don't do that. I seem to do better with 4-5 very small meals.

B- 9:00

L- 12:30

S- 3:00

D- 5:30

S- 8:00 (I only do this if I am truly hungry)

Thanks guys!

I try to not eat too late in the evening either but that doesn't always happen.

I have been tempted lately to snack. I don't know why, I've been doing this eating change since early July and for some reason its been a bit rough lately.

Got to quit thinking about food!!!! ugggggg................:w00t: I think since I was wanting to try a fill, then seeing if I could to eat less, it seems I've got "am I full or hungry" on the brain.

Another question, do you measure your food every time or just eat till you're satisfied and not worry too much about it?

Wow Ebonie - You lost 78lbs w/one fill!!??!!

That's amazing - I'm going for fill #6 Monday and HOPE I get to that sweet place , I've been more hungry since my last fill than since Pre Banding. Not sure if it's cause I'm working out crazy - or what , but it's been all self control w/a slip here / there.

I measure my food about 50% of the time. I'm not consistent w/it , especially days I'm more hungry *I don't measure - cause I want a bit more* I know what my yogurt/cottage cheese/oatmeal *prepkged meals* weigh in oz's, the fresh meals I make at home I can gauge by their size now how much they weigh..:w00t:

Thanks luluc, yes I lost the 78 and just had my first fill on Wed. Haven't seen much of a change though and that was with 5cc in a 10cc band. I wanted more restirction, I haven't pushed it but my meals are a bit smaller. So far everything is staying down as before.

I've started eating dinner a little later recently and it seems to be keeping me from looking for a snack or dessert type item in the late evening.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
