Hi Wonderful Sleevers;

I keep reading 'Don't graze!!'. Heck, if I don't graze I don't get my Protein & liquid in. I'm on full foods now and it takes me a good 45 minites to eat, or about an hour to finish a Protein Drink. If I don't eat or drink every few hours, I don't get my quota in. And I really prefer to be eating, not drinking, most of my protein. So can someone please explain what grazing truly means?

Thanks!!

Opps! I meant to post this in the post-op. sorry!!

To me, grazing means eating mindlessly. Grazing may mean something else to others.

I eat all day long, but it's planned eating and part of my daily goals. I can't meet Protein goals unless I eat a bit here and there all day.

I often wonder if those who set the "rules" were actually sleeved!! I think not! They tell us to have just 3 meals + 2 Snacks. Ain't no way I can eat enough in 3 meals + 2 snacks to get all that protein, or even enough food to stay alive!!

I'm not advocating that anyone break some or all of the rules, but I have to admit I do. Besides drinking fluids (and I don't get in the prescribed amount), I eat food/drink protein 9 or 10 times every day. I don't take teeny bites and I don't chew any more than I did before. I have never taken beverage with meals, and don't now, but I don't pay attention to how close to meals I drink because if I did, I couldn't eat 9 or 10 times a day and drink anything!

I know!!! It does seem rather disjointed. :-)
