Eating often?

[visionmom77 12]

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.

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.

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!
