1 week out

Is it better to consume 2 oz - six times a day or 4 oz, three times a day?

For me, I eat 6 mini meals each day.  I've found it really helps my metabolism.

Congratulations on your surgery and new life you are beginning!!!!  I also still eat 6 times a day.  I cannot eat a full meal at one sitting, so I split them up.  It is just easier for me that way.  I wish you all the best on your journey!!!

Karenda,

I am so sorry I didn't come to the hospital as I said I would.  We had a tragedy in our family during the Thanksgiving holidays and it just wasn't possible.  My nephew was killed in a one vehicle accident the night before Thanksgiving.  I have kept you in my prayers and I know you will do great.

How did your doctor tell you to eat?  Did he say to eat 4 ozs or 2 ozs at a time.  It's good to do what your doctor tells you.  They are all different.  What do you feel comfortable eating?  That also makes a lot of difference.  If you are more comfortable eating less at a time more times a day, that is probably best for you.   My doctor said to eat three times a day with no snacks, but it was hard to eat enough to get my protein, etc in three meals. 

Experiment and see what works best or you.  Good luck.  Keep us informed of your progress.
