I was told by nutritionists to eat something every 2 hrs. Is that even possible? Who's eating that often? What are you eating? I'm not that hungry...

My nutritionist says to never eat more than 3 times a day to prevent grazing. They're all so different!

I will eat a few almonds, some cheese, or one of those P3 packs. If I don't then I really get hungry unfortunately.

Me! I lost all my excess weight and have kept it off by eating on a schedule and eating every 2-3 hours.

2.5 years out, and it still works for me

12 weeks post surgery. I eat 6 times per day.

I eat every two to three hours.I eat less than 200 calories at every small meal and try to make sure there is 10-15 gram protein minimum. For an example I may have triple zero Greek yogurt with five mixed berries and six to nine almonds.the next meal might be 1.5 scrambled egg with salsa,the next might be a balance protein bar.You get the idea.

Me too. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. 2.7 months post op and maintaining a 130+lb loss.

How do you guys eat every 2 to 3 hours and still get all your liquid in? I am 4 months out and I am struggling with making sure I eat enough and drink enough each day.... after eating, I constantly feel full... then come time to eat again and I am full from drinking my liquid...

Definitely not complaining, just curious how you all pull it off...

Not me. I'm 3 1/2 weeks post and am having trouble with just the shake. I keep forgetting to eat. Like yesterday it was 2pm before I realized that I hadn't eaten or even drank my shake all day.

For me I drink a half hour before I'm due to eat.at this point I can chug a 8-12ounce glass in five minutes. In the beginning it was a full time job to stay hydrated and that was my main concern, not eating.

Im saying! Its truly a full time job making sure you hit the numbers you need. and to be honest, there are a few days I just dont...

I've timed my meals to coincide with my Vitamin schedule:

7:15 - Breakfast and vitamin #1

9:30 - Snack #1 and Calcium chew #1

12:30 - lunch and vitamin #2

2:30 - Snack #2 and calcium chew #2

5:30 (ish) - dinner and calcium chew #3

Bedtime - vitamin #3

"When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

I need a schedule because i literally eat whenever. I try to stick to some sort of timing but essentially im just winging it. I suck at taking my Vitamins also. Don't know how my tests came back good. Luck lol. Anyone know of any apps or things i can do for timing my meals? My sleep schedule sucks also. Im just a hot mess lol ????

I'm three weeks out...I also struggle between eating & drinking & one or both go lacking because I'm often not hungry. Then I sip when I drink so takes me forever to finish. I can't tolerate taking my chewable Vitamins. They taste horrible & are too huge. I need to do so much better. Perhaps I need to make a schedule as well.

I eat 7-8 times per day. By the time I allow the appropriate time before and after drinking Water, it takes me 12-14 hours to get it all in, but it works!

Ok, today I tried the P3 (protein) snack pack & I finally found something that is easy for me to eat. Part of problem of me eating was choosing food that doesn't hurt to eat. Thanks for whoever mentioned these Snacks...it's like a lunch meal for me
