Question:
So snacky all the time, how do you not do that?

I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and my Dr. has let me eat for about a week now, I feel pretty good, and I've lost 36 pounds so far, but the last couple days I've been so snacky, I want to eat constant. Do you get past that? I feel like when I dieted for a long time and then binge. What do you do for that?    — alicialeew (posted on November 15, 2001)

I leap frog the solid food with the protein shakes. I'm getting nourishment from the protein. The food is more like entertainment. I eat or drink something every 2 hours, pretty much. Not so much now, way post-op, but in the beginning, that was necessary to keep me from being silly. I'm not as regimented now. I take more protein shakes than I did, so I have to remind me to eat food.
