Ok so I am 4 weeks post op and I feel like I'm eating and drinking ALL THE TIME! I try so hard to get my protein in with drinks and shakes and food and then on top of that the snacks and water. So this comes to this question. What does your daily eating schedule look like! And pointers would be great cause again I feel like all I do is eat (small portions) and drink and scared its stretching my pouch!

I'm 2 weeks out, I'm eating 5x a day, making sure each meal is at least 12g of protein each.

What kind of protein are you getting in?

HW 270lbs SW 258lbs CW 236 Goal Weight 165

I eat 3x a day...was told not to snack. Breakfast: dannon light & fit greek yogurt.

Lunch: 2 oz turkey lunchmeat & 1 oz cheeze

Dinner: 2 oz tilapia/2 small pcs broccoli.

I still need 1 Protein shake (30g) per day to supplement so I drink that at some point between meals.

Wake up: Drink 16.9 oz Water bottle

Take Calcium

Breakfast: Dannon 2x Protein yogurt

Take Multi vit, D3, Iron, B12

Morning Snack: protein shake/milk

Lunch: 6 shrimps

Take calcium

Exercise: 60 min walk

Drink (2) 16.9 oz water bottles

Need to have water completes before walk is over.

Afternoon Snack: Protein shake&milk

Take: Multi vit, iron

Dinner: 1 cup of Edemamas

Night Snack: string cheese.

Take Calcium

Bedtime: Drink 16.9 oz water bottle

Approx: 70 oz of water

Approx: 80-100 g protein

The more you drink the more water you can take in in less time. In my shakes I do half milk and water and that counts toward my water count too.

My surgeon instructions are to eat 3 meals a day NO snacking in between but make your meal enough so it will hold you to your next meal without snacking. Sometimes snacking can get out of hand so I try not to snack at all and just eat at meal time.

I eat 5x per day...7am: 1/2 c. Great Grains cereal with 1/2c. skim

10am: 8-12oz Unjury with almond milk

1pm: 1/2 c. cottage cheese (1%) with 2-3 strawberries or 4 grapes

4pm: 1 oz almonds or mixed nuts

7pm: 3 shrimp or 2 oz chicken or 2oz hamburger

Total is around 75 gm protein.

I am 7 months out.
