Nutritionist says to graze

I'm pre-op, with open RNY scheduled 1/9. Met with nutritionist tonight and she advised that post-ops need to "graze" for the long term. She said that we should plan for very small food intake approx every 1/2 hour, from now on. She said that is better for everyone -- not just WLS patients -- although maybe not as drastic as it will be for us. She insists that if we eat larger "meals" 3 times a day that we will get too hungry in between, will eat more than we should, will stretch our pouch, and sabotage our weight loss effort. This is almost exactly opposite from what I've been reading here. Can anyone help me? I'm confused.
