  1. So I've been playing around with my eating schedule and decided yesterday that I was going to increase my meals from 5x a day to 6x a day with smaller portions. I went from 4x a day to 5x a day a few weeks ago, and it went well, but I was wondering if it might be better for me to constantly be eating, even if it is smaller amounts.

    Today's the first day I'm trying it out, and I'm noticing something very strange. Even though I'm eating smaller meals, today I'm feeling MORE restriction from my sleeve. I don't know what it is... Is there a "sweet spot" where if you eat past it your stomach goes numb? I know it usually takes me a long time to feel my restriction after I've eaten, about 45minutes or so.  Anyway, I've been eating every 2hrs and for the entire day today I've been feeling full.

    It's weird. I'm coming up on 7weeks out and I'm still learning how my sleeve works.

      This eating 6x/day plan has been going very well. Just like you said @blizair09 , there is always another meal right around the corner :P I feel like I finally figured out how to eat with my sleeve!

      Do you find yourself hungry when you wake up? I learned that it's a great indicator of your metabolism working pretty high. I wake up hungry everyday now. I equate it to my kid's growing....they wake up and the first thing they want is something to eat. Remember how that was as a kid? Why is that? Their bodies are growing...they need the fuel. We need the fuel as well, but ours is to regulate our bodies to lose our excess weight. I LOVE knowing I'm hungry in the mornings.

      I get hungry about an hour after I wake up. It's always been that way for me, even preop. Unless I lose a bunch of weight at once, or I had a harder than usual workout.. then I'm hangry as soon as I wake up :72_imp:
