ebonie 0 Posted March 1, 2008 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted March 1, 2008 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* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
make33 2 Posted March 1, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted March 1, 2008 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebonie 0 Posted March 1, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted March 1, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebonie 0 Posted March 1, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candle 11 Posted March 2, 2008 B: 10am L: 1pm S: 3-4pm D: 6-7pm 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
