eating several small meals a day

in May 2008 Weddings
since my surgery i have found my stomach is much happier if i eat several small meals a day. dr. oz also recommends this type of eating and i have heard it recommended for weight loss. for these reasons i think i might try continuing to eat this way. i think it will really help my acid reflux as well as any issues revolving around not having a gallbladder. i think i remember trying this in the past but feeling hungry a lot however i probably didnt really try it in earnest. i am the classic eat three large meals a day type and i have kind of enjoyed the definite stop and start to meal time. i dont even care to snack. so i was wondering if anyone eats this way and if they have been able to maintain their weight this way. also if you eat this way can you tell me how many times a day you eat and roughly how many calories per mini meal. i am worried i will consume too many calories if i try this and don't go into it informed. thx!

    Personally, I'm a "grazer" I only eat one large meal a day, but have smaller "meals" or snack throughout the day. I seem to stay regular with my weight. If you're happy eating this way, then you shuld do it! If not, then keep with your 3 meals

    i eat 5 times a day usually but not small meals. breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. my snacks are things like chobani yogurt/fruit. light enough to hold me over until my next meal.

    If left to my own devices I'd eat small meals/snacks all day long. Lately I've been eating larger lunches and dinners, but I definitely prefer to just graze all day too. I definitely think it helps maintain a smaller tummy, at least for my body. Every time I each a big meal and get a food baby it stays that way for a week!
