A HAVE A QUESTION MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH. I CANT TELL WHEN I AM HUNGER DO I JUST SET A TIME AND EAT 3 MEALS A DAY OR WHAT? AND ARE THERE ANY SUPPORT GROUPS IN OR AROUND MONTICELLO,KY IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHERE THAT IS? THANKS

Do what your doctor told you to do. If it is 3 meals or 6 meals get them in and drink drink drink. Isn't it great not to be hungry!?! PJ

HI Debbie, In the beginning it really is hard to tell when you are full, especialy if you aren't hungry to start with. As you progress it should change (it did for me anyway). My doctor said 3 meals a day in the beginning and lots of fluid. Now that I'm 7 months out I do 6 small meals because he recommends it. Also as a new post op, measuring is very important so you know how much you are eating so that you don't overeat. Hope this helps! Have a great day! Jill 12/1/03 -88
