Eat six small protein-rich meals. Eating small meals throughout the day can help to maximize weight loss—about every 2 ½ to 3 hours. Take 20 minutes or so to eat your meals and then put the food away and stop eating. Don’t pick on the food until it’s gone in an effort to meet your protein goal. Avoid grazing or eating anything with calories between meals—this is your time to sip on calorie free fluids. Your surgery restricts the amount you can eat at one time, but it does not prevent you from eating small amounts all day long. If you tend to eat out of boredom, when you’re stressed, or while watching TV; find strategies to avoid eating between meals.
