I was just wondering if most Sleevers eat at scheduled intervals, or just when hungry. Any thoughts?

I am not sure what others do. I have not had a lot of success with consistency in tracking food offer the years. But I am making an effort to record my activities and intake. I bought an app called "Food Diary". It's on the Android market place but I am sure it's available for apple as well. It was only $0.99 . Its very flexible and doesn't try to be overly sophisticated. You can modify or enter whatever you want.

This doesn't send reminders from what I can tell Butt if you know your goal per day it helps you keep track of where you are too target.

I use My Fitness Pal, which helps a lot.

Scheduled intervals. Usually 3 light meals and 1 or 2 snacks. Snacks consistent mostly of lowfat cheese sticks and sugar free Popsicle.

I try to stay with Scheduled intervals.

I try to stick with regular, planned intervals. Otherwise, I start grazing.

Be well…

Our surgeon gave us the best advice ever. He said do not eat 3 meals a day, eat only when you are hungry, and really hungry. This works so well for us because we were both sleeved. I keep things such as fresh guacamole, chicken salad, cole slaw, string cheese, boiled eggs, tuna salad, in the fridge for a bite or two during the day, and at 5 months post sleeve we are having a light meal a day, such as the Greek salad we shared for dinner last night. We take good Vitamins, our labwork has been great. I have found the more I eat the hungrier I seem to get. I was told at 3 months out to back off eating so much Protein, to drink no more Protein shakes, so I make sure I have veggies added in daily now.

If I only are when I was hungry most days I would never get anywhere close to my Protein goals and I would eat less than 300 cals a day, I know because I have tried it. I know it works for some, but not me.

I don't exactly eat at scheduled intervals anymore (almost five months out, earlier I did) but at general times of day. Protein shake before I take the kids to school, etc.

I eat on a plan. Three 3 oz meals and two protein snacks a day. The timing varies according to my schedule for the day

I do it this way because after 60 years of dieting and failing my idea of when I am hungry is so screwed up that I can't possibly rely on it to tell me when and how much to eat.

I am almost three months out and down 52 lbs. so will continue to do it this way. I find recording everything very helpful. It reminds me to eat clean and carefully.

It's so true about not knowing when your hungry! Again, I thought I was the only one to feel this way. I've spent so many years eating and eating and eating that I really don't know what true hunger is.

I eat three times a day but only eat when I'm hungry. Don't want to force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.

I eat when Im hungry, Im not sure if its the right way. I will have to find out tomorrow with my Dr for my 2 weeks postop visit. I eat about 3x daily. Protein and water is most important.
