Snacks or no snacks, I'm confused

When I read about having a VSG I read that you want to eat 3 meals a day no Snacks. Then I read in the Big book of Gastric Sleeve some healthy snacks to have. Reading about others GB or VSG and they eat snacks in between "meals". How do you get all that in plus your Water that you're not supposed to have while you eat? I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm trying to read all I can. I'm just confused if you are supposed to eat in between meals or not. Help.

The big prohibition is against "grazing." That means nibbling pretty much all day long, whenever slider foods sing your name from the refrigerator, the kitchen cabinet or the candy jar on Suzie's desk.

Grazing isn't even close to a mid-afternoon snack of Greek yogurt (with 12 grams of protein) when dinner is still four hours away.
