  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.

      I've eaten 7-8 meals about 2 hours apart all along. It has been a good strategy for me. This lets me focus on eating specific amounts, and not until I am "full." I know that I will have another meal right around the corner...

      I eat about 4-6 times a day. I still can't eat more than 2 oz at a time, besides a 4oz salad that seems to go down just fine. My nut was questioning why I was eating all day, I told her cause I get hungry about every 3 hours, but don't eat much at a time. She seemed to accept it, given that my weight is going down still. I had this surgery on to reset my metabolism....and that's exactly what it's done.

      I eat 4 times a day an occasionally I will fit in a 5th meal. I like the way I feel eating this way and it keeps my metabolism up.
