3 Or 6??

I would like to know if everyone follows the 3 meals or 6 small ones/daily. I've been told no more than 3 but my friend (who had bypass) was told 6....I'm in a majorly frustrating plateau and really dont want to count cals...

    I have 3 "bandster size" meals a day, and 1 snack. No calorie counting required, only compliance with right size portions.

I was told 3 small meals and 1 snack :)

My wife, who is not banded and is only 15 lbs overweight now, went on this cleansing diet where she at only organic veggies and fruit for a week, lost 7 lbs. Only meat was salmon once and halibut once.

I eat 3 main meals and 2 small Snacks a day.

So I tried 3 meals, but by mid-afternoon or coffee-thirty as i call it, i needed a snack- so i had a fiber one bar and had dinner an hr/1/2 later- good day!

I have 3 meals and 1 snack a day. I also have 2-3 glasses of milk throughout the day.

When I get hungry, I try to eat a meal and not a snack. Some days this is possible, others it is not. I usually do three meals and sometimes one snack. I think whatever makes you feel the best is good.
