I am 2 weeks post op and doing well on soft foods. I'm just curious, should I be eating 3 meals a day ? Right now I'm just eating when I get hungry, but I'm getting my Protein and liquids in with no prob.

I'm still pre op, but in my paperwork it says 3 meals and 2 Snacks per day

I set my timer to eat every two hours,i eat even if i'm not hungry,because i can only eay a small amounts,i had a stall for only one week,the key to losing weight is eating so i have to remind my self,because if listen to my stomach i will never eat because i'm never hungry lol..

I did not feel hunger post surgery. I was on clear liquids for 1 week, then full liquids for 2 more. When I went to full liquids, I had my shake in the morning then ate soup at logical meal times to try and get a sense of normal. With the shake in the morning, I had soup 3 more times. I also was sipping Isopure all day. It made it easy to get the protein in.

I'm on 5 small meals a day since I can't hold much more than that. Plus I get my vitamins in that way. I don't always fit the 5 in a day but I try

Same with me.

I try to eat 5 times a day. Breakfast at about 7am, a snack at about 10am, lunch about noon, another snack at about 3pm and dinner about 6pm. I don't always get it in for one reason or another, but I cannot get sufficient protein in without the snacks.

Completely agree! Unless I end up with multiple Protein drinks I'm not finding it possible to do it on less than 5. Som edays I have 4 but that usually has a 26 g Protein shake in there.
