How many meals a day..

[MyTurn 4]

Just wondering how many meals a day do you eat? Please state if you are banded or not. Did your doctor suggest this plan for you or do you feel it just works out the best the way your doing it?

Do you eat breakast then a mid-morning snack, lunch then an afternoon snack, dinner then a bedtime snack or stop eating right after dinner? What time do you stop eating? What time do you stop drinking?

Banded-I eat 3 meals which consists of 1/2 to 1 cup of food at a time. my doctor said eat about every 3 to 4 hours if hungry but I really don't need that and i don't snack because i don't feel it nessary although i do try to get a Protein Drink in sometime durring the day and i try to make sure my last meal is no later then 6pm idon't stop drinking i even keep a bottle of Water by my bed so i can have it durring the night. i seem to have a harder time getting all that water in then anything else and i hate those darn small sips i would love just to guzzle a bottle down but no can do. hope this helps

I'm banded, I tend to be a 3 meal a day eater, with maybe an afternoon snack. I dont find I need to eat mid morning and I never eat anything after dinner, never did even pre banding.

I just worked it out myself, I do what suits me, have never had a meal plan or a set of rules or anything. That included the drinking rules, my doc doesnt really have strong feelings on that and I dont find it makes any difference at all to me, with the exception that I cannot drink when I'm full! I usually have a coffee at night after dinner.< /p>
