It's been two weeks since I got sleeved and I'm already noticing myself racking up calories throughout the day by grazing. What I'm eating is generally healthy (protein shakes, jello, peas, cottage cheese, tomato basil soup, Crystal Light) - none of what I eat isn't on the avoids list for me. It just seems I feel like I snack around more than I should.

Have you all experienced this and how did you put an end to it because I know a sleeve reduces an intake... it's me who controls the frequency. Partial venting here. I know I need to change. Just looking for support! I'd like to think a few days of this hasn't undone the whole value or ambition of my procedure. Like today has been my highest day since I've had the surgery - 1028 calories (approximately from MFP). Yesterday was 967. The day before that was not so bad at 850. Tuesday was 922. The day before that was 654. So I guess I've just had a few days of higher than I'd like eating... still losing slowly! Just worried my old habits will come back!

Honest constructive criticism welcome!

Everyone is different. But i know for me i don't believe in the 6 meals per day thing. I think if you already know snacking is your struggle, find a different way to structure your meals so you aren't snacking. It will help prevent re-gaining later on down the road.

Try portioning everything out for the whole day and take it with you, so you know that's all you can have.

Anytime you think of food, sip some water to help you get all your fluids in.

I hope that helps. It helped me.
