SNACKS!
JUST WONDERING HOW EVERYONE ELSE'S ROUTINE IS. I USUALLY HAVE 3 MEALS AND 2-3 SNACKS A DAY, MOSTLY BECAUSE IF I DON'T MY SUGAR DROPS AND I'M IN TROUBLE. I TIME THEM BETWEEN 2 AND 3 HOURS APART. MY QUESTION IS DO ANY OF YOU STILL HAVE A SNACK EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY? I FEEL LIKE I'M EATING TOO MUCH SOMETIMES BUT I'M AFRAID NOT TO DUE TO MY REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA(SP) EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SMALL MEALS AND SNACKS, I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOUD EAT IF I'M NOT HUNGRY.
I eat six times a day, most days. I usually go about three hours between meals or snacks. Sometimes I go longer if I don't feel hungry, although I usually am hungry by then. If it's been four or five hours since I ate, I will eat something anyway or have a protein drink even if I don't feel hungry to keep my blood sugar stable.

I am early out (7 weeks) so I am still eating 4-6 meals 3 oz meals, but ultimately my surgeon recommends, 3 meals a day - no snacking. How far are you out from surgery?

So far I have been lucky and haven't been "hungry". I generally do a protein shake for breakfast, have a good lunch, and then dinner. Occassionally around 7 pm the munchies will set in and if I can't stand it, I will eat a protein bar. I try not to do snacks because I'm afraid that will bring back a whole way of life I left.
