Was anyone else told to follow this for the long haul?

I was reviewing my bariatric surgery binder and noticed that stage IV (final stage) states to eat three meals a day, spaced out 3-4 hours from each other, without snacking in between.

I'm sure it's the old fat girl in me that finds this to sounds difficult. Are you guys able to carry on throughout your day without having food outside of your three standard meals? (When I say Snacks, I don't mean chips and candy... I mean nuts or cheese...)

Lol I'm a "newbie" too!! the "veterans" as they call themselves in no way consider me a vet at 4 months! Lol your cute! But I'm not fighting with you...

Lol and KimiKat I blame you!'

Of course not. This will just be worked into another sarcastic thread With passive aggressive comments

To the OP.....I apologize for derailing your post. This wasn't the place for me to voice my frustration with this site. Good Luck with your journey and whatever you decide

Laura im not disagreeing with the study im just saying I dont agree with eating before bed, dont eat a heavy dinner than go to bed, u have a light snack 2hrs before bed. Thats something I read, I am no nut or dr, just my 2 cents thats all.

Well you did one better than me I didn't even read the study! You know we are all trying to do what's right AND what works for us!

None of us should speak in absolutes and say...

"my way and my doctor are right and you know nothing"

Oh except for that no drinking for 90 minutes thing I stand by, "that's crazy talk"

I eat whenever whatever all the time. I eat food kids cats it don't matter. As long as there's a side of Doritos with it I'm fine!
