I eat every 2 hours. There are no "meals" with the DS. Since 85% of my stomach was removed (the sleeve), amputated, gone, along with it the part that produces the hunger hormone ghrelin; I have to eat more frequently. The key to weight loss with the DS is the sleeve. That's the restrictive part. The magic of the DS is the switch part: the malabsorption is what keeps the weight off by malabsorbing 80% of the fats I eat. For me, there is no diarrhea with the DS. Quite the opposite, I am now constipated. I take Magnesium Oxide and eat prunes with my Calcium citrate to combat this issue. I also increased my fat intake to a ridiculous point. I eat real butter on everything, heavy whipping cream in my coffee, and so on. I take high Protein high fat Snacks with me everywhere. I do not watch my carbs. Because I eat Protein first, for me the carbs don't matter. Bacon is a health food now for me. Crab Alfredo, hold the Pasta, at Red Lobster is a health food. Full-fat sour cream and butter on my baked potato. Rib eye steak smothered in blue cheese.
OMG, I made myself hungry, I gotta go eat!
