Ok im 6 weeks post op band to bypass revision ....my dr is super strict and wants me to eat 2 protein shakes and 1 meal a day (3oz lean protein and 3oz cooked veg) and 1 snack a day if needed a yogurt or 1% cottage cheese....i try and follow as best i can but im only human and i had a few days were i.was so hungry and had been on a weight loss stall for a few days then i ate 3oz of refried beans (which he doesn't allow) with a sprinkle of cheese and some taco.sauce for a few days and all of a sudden i lost 3lbs then a week or so went by and again weight loss stalled for a couple days and i had a bad day and snacked 3x a day for 2 days and also ate 2 meals and one shake and wala lost 4lbs....then i was reading on here and cant remember where and someone said as long as she ate every couple hours the weight fell off ......any truth to this???? I feel like the more often i eat the more im losing ...i am sticking to.the right foods except tje refried beans and cheese and i do weigh everything for a snack i eat 3 oz and for dinner 6oz total meat/veg if i eat a second meal i usually only do 3oz of protein and no veg

This is very true for me:)

The more I eat the more I lose. Since I'm already tiny I try not to eat a lot so I don't disappear.

Same here more calories the more I lose

How far post op are u all? And can i ask howuch u lost and starting weights ...sw was 363lbs surg 4-16-13 and cw is 327lbs today i ate every 2-3hrs snall amounts and at dinner i wasnt able to finish all my food but i def think i did good with protein im gonna try for a few days and see what happens

We need to feed our bodies, otherwise it thinks we are starving and will hold onto everything. This is one reason it is important to not skip meals, and to eat three meals a day.

Do you have any choice in foods? I hope you get some variety soon!

I have read that eating something.. Mind you not crap every 2-3 hours keeps your blood sugar level and you metabolism going. I do try and follow this rule. It's a very small amount.. Usually high in protein ..
