Just wondering what time you all eat your meals and do you try to eat about the same time everyday? Mine varies a bit but not much.

My Dr. said NO SNACKS just the 3 sm meals. But I do have some Diet Cocoa around 4:00pm (my rough spot of the day). :w00t:

B: 7:30-8:15

L: 12-1:30

D: 6-7:00

My Doc says no Snacks too - but if I do, make them small & healthy. Seems like the harder I work out the snack is needed.

B- 8:30-9:30am

L- 12:30-1pm

D- 5:30-6pm **trying not to eat after 6:30pm**

Snack - depends sometimes in late afternoon *ususally handful of almonds/walnuts*

I really appreciate the weekdays because I'm on a set schedule--the weekends are a killer because my hubby and I run constantly, so I'm doing the constant assessment as to where I am in the day and what I've had!! Weekdays are:

B 7:00 AM

L 12:00 PM

D 5:30 PM

Ebonie and Luluc, like you I have my Protein shake at about 3:00 PM just to make it through the afternoon. I also have a rough spot in the evening around 8:00, so I make up my 1/2 cup protein instant pudding and that will satiate me until bedtime!! :w00t:

My doctor recommends 3 meals and no Snacks as well, but I usually don't do that. I seem to do better with 4-5 very small meals.

B- 9:00

L- 12:30

S- 3:00

D- 5:30

S- 8:00 (I only do this if I am truly hungry)

Thanks guys!

I try to not eat too late in the evening either but that doesn't always happen.

I have been tempted lately to snack. I don't know why, I've been doing this eating change since early July and for some reason its been a bit rough lately.

Got to quit thinking about food!!!! ugggggg................:w00t: I think since I was wanting to try a fill, then seeing if I could to eat less, it seems I've got "am I full or hungry" on the brain.

Another question, do you measure your food every time or just eat till you're satisfied and not worry too much about it?

Wow Ebonie - You lost 78lbs w/one fill!!??!!

That's amazing - I'm going for fill #6 Monday and HOPE I get to that sweet place , I've been more hungry since my last fill than since Pre Banding. Not sure if it's cause I'm working out crazy - or what , but it's been all self control w/a slip here / there.

I measure my food about 50% of the time. I'm not consistent w/it , especially days I'm more hungry *I don't measure - cause I want a bit more* I know what my yogurt/cottage cheese/oatmeal *prepkged meals* weigh in oz's, the fresh meals I make at home I can gauge by their size now how much they weigh..:w00t:

Thanks luluc, yes I lost the 78 and just had my first fill on Wed. Haven't seen much of a change though and that was with 5cc in a 10cc band. I wanted more restirction, I haven't pushed it but my meals are a bit smaller. So far everything is staying down as before.

B: 10am

L: 1pm

S: 3-4pm

D: 6-7pm

I've started eating dinner a little later recently and it seems to be keeping me from looking for a snack or dessert type item in the late evening.
