Question:
I'm 5 months out and have too eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours even though it is a small

amount that satisfies me maybe a couple of nabs. My stomach just roars and I get week and shaky. Will I always have to eat so often. On the bright side I have lost 75 lbs and feel great!    — PAULA B. (posted on October 21, 2002)

I am 4.5 months out and I eat about every 2.5 to 3 hours most days. Some days I can go longer but for the most part That is my schedule. My dietician reccomends 3 meals and 2 snacks. I worry that you said you feel shakey in between though, that could indicate low blood sugar. Make sure when you eat that you stick with high protien, complex carbs, and low sugar (4 grams or less). That should keep your blood sugar even. If this continues I would call your Dr. Take care!
