I had surgery Nov 2013 and I'm thinking I can have a Samuel Adams lager one tall glass per day. Will it really be a big deal. Same with ibuprofen or aspirin. I understand early after surgery definitely not but how about now.

Can we chime in on what our meal sizes are more than a year out. Do some still measure 4 oz or do we eye it and just eat till we feel full. How many meals are we eating and how many snacks on an average day. Is the goal to keep measuring 4oz meals or do we increase the meal sizes. For example I eat nutritiously still however I eat the same size portions as a thin person who never had surgery. I have a very small piece of homemade cake no frosting for desert after dinner. I do not eat more than 3 times a day. I sometimes have a snack of fruit during the day. I do not eat anything after dinner till the following morning where I have breakfast. I am interested to know where others are as far as their program is going. Thanks.

What size are your meals do you still weigh to 4ozs how many meals a day? Do we increase meal size so we can only eat 3 times a day for our nutrition?

The point of this thread is to get people's perspectives

I would like people's opinion on size of meals I don't think doctors expect for the person to continue having 4 Oz meals because by no stretch of the imagination can someone work all day and expect to be eating 6 to 8 times a day to get nutrition from food sources excluding protein drinks. I could be wrong but I would hope to have the capacity to eat a small meal 3 times a day to get the nutritional sources.

Basically I am speaking on the premise that the person gets up I'm the Morning and in bed by 11pm

If your getting your proper nourishment during the day I mean if you cannot manage getting in your protein before dinnertime you have all day if not then I'm missing something

How is night eating considered healthy

Well over a year out and only 4 ounce meals that is so sad. So I guess to feed the human body the proper nutrition and calories yeah I guess it's more than 3 meals a day. I'm so grateful I don't have to eat micro meals all day it doesn't strike me as practical especially for those that work. It doesn't sound like fun to eat all day. But hey for those that like to chew I guess is a welcome activity.

And as far as eating more than 3 meals a day and 2 snacks I guess doctors are telling their patients to eat as many meals and snacks as they want sounds like a dream come true but I guess some of us will pay the price for indulging too much but hey what do I know.

my only concern is that snacking is best done only when needed not a habit forming feel good remedy to boredom or depression. I snack but only in between meals and especially not after dinner. I don't think its healthy to have food in the stomach when lying down going to sleep. Im not saying to deprive oneself but snacking has to be very carefully monitored so as not to form grazing habits because of what we think hear or see.

the acid from the coffee whether its caffeinated or not also its a diuretic which means it stimulates your bladder to go more. Which means dehydration possibly.

It's amazing how people will defend their right to chew food at any hour of the day or night. Yes food is slowly becoming the focal point of the daily life. Most unfortunately.

yeah I agree Breakfast then snack lunch then snack then dinner nothing till the next day. otherwise eating is an activity not because you are hungry and to me that sounds familiar with why people are overweight to begin with. yeah I guess your right I have a personal issue when it comes to eating more than just nourishment sounds like eating to feel content and where will that end.
