Three meals a day... No snacking!?

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...)

    I do 5 small meals a day- and don't eat anything in between. I don't pay attention to timing- I eat when it's convenient or when I feel like I need to. I was told three meals and two Snacks, but my

Not everyone just those who are deserving of it. Seems to be a pattern the same people are always involved in the conflicts on this board.

You seem so bent out of shape for just now voicing your concerns perhaps you shouldn't suppress so much anger and work out your problems at an appropriate time.

This girl is on fire!!! :);)

Night and good bye. I'm done with the boards and the cliches that came with it. I just thought someone should call it like it is. You guys obviously dominate the boards and intimidate and brow beat till everyone see's you way. So have fun.

I've been back and re read the thread. I still can't see why anyone would have such an issue with it.

I assume it's issues outside of here.

If anyone wants to message me for a hug ........
