Am I snacking

I posted this in the WLS in Your 20s fourm as well it seems like I always get different views from them and BAF. So help me if ou can :)



i feel like I am eating all day long. 5 meals a day is a lot for me. I forget to eat most days too or only eat once.

 

The thing is it feels like I am snacking. People tell me its nto cinsidered snacking in my case becuase I am not even eating my meals like I should. The stuff I feel like I am snacking on is all protein foods.

Im eating alot of low fat cheeses and lunch meat probably a total of 6 slices of turkey wwhich is 45 calories and maybe 2 string cheeses and a couple of wheat thins. I have yet to tolerate meats other than lunch meat.

Does anyone else get where i am coming from or went through this?

hello i just wanted to sound off. i went through the same thing when i was 2 months post. It does seem as if you are eating all day but ur not. Trust me it gets better and you get ur appetite back. i am really struggling with the appeite now cause i wanna eat everytthang. but you are not snacking that is ur main goal to get enough food in at this point so you are not malnutrition......good luck

This is not snacking to me but diet protocols vary.  You may be eating 2 oz at a time.   One cup and a quarter for the whole day if you eat five times.  When your appetite improves and your capacity is greater you will change how you eat to what's most comfortable for you. 

As long as you are loosing well and within your surgeon's protocol I would not worry.  I still eat all day, but I have a 3 oz pouch as I call it.  That's just 15-18 oz daily over 5-6 feedings.
