Diet issue question - 9 weeks post op!

Hello: Let me start out that I am 9 weeks out, and have lost 40 lbs (was exactly 100lbs overweight to begin with). So I know that I will lose slower. Anyway, I really need help with my diet. Prior to surgery, I only ate once a day. And now, I'm going back to my old habits. I eat once a day (about 1-3oz chicken, etc.., and stop when I feel full) and drink about 30oz of liquid a day. I can't tolerate protein shakes (ugh) but do take my vitamins. I can't even imagine eating 6-8 times a day and drinking 64oz of water! If I only lost 40lbs eating once a day, then who's the say that I won't gain all of the weight back if I increase that to 6 times a day! HELP!!!
