I eat 2-4 oz meals every 3-4 hrs. For reference, I am only 22 days post op.

I STILL can't hold 4 ounces, therefore, I struggle getting in my nutrients. Kudos to you for being able to eat that much!

Thanks. I'm on the pureed stage but I have heard that at the solid stage,  being full and how much one can eat, it's a whole different ball game... So another learning curve coming up for me.

6-8 times a day if it is a typical day. Work can really mess with that though, so it can be half of that.

Most days I eat three times a day.  Once in a while I have to eat four times a day because of scheduling issues.

While I was losing weight I had a protein shake as a late breakfast, and then ate 3-4 more times.

Now in Maintenance I would say 5-6 times, but don't always include a shake. Many times there is little difference between a meal and a snack...

Two meals a day -- lunch and dinner. No breakfast -- never liked it, even as a kid. Very light snacks around 4pm and again at 9pm Light snack is usually a piece of fruit. Coffee w/cashew milk throughout the day as desired. If I'm careful to keep my foods as nutritious and healthy as possible, I have very little actual hunger.

I eat every 2-3hrs secondary to severe hypoglycemia.  I water load, so maybe I wash the sleeve completely???  Don't really care...I stay high protein/fats and this has really helped.  PCP encourages adding salt too.  B/P runs low as does sodium levels.
