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

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 ;)

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.

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...

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.

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

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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
