How often and how much to eat
You're doing fine but if you feel hungry in the evenings, I would either eat something or have a protein shake in the evenings. I was advised to eat four to six times a day (I counted a protein shake as a "meal").
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.

Surgery Feb 24 and I still am working at getting in the required protein. I'm not up to the full amount of shake and water but I keep sipping away. Tonight we are having Nik's Mexican Lasagna and it sure smells good baking.
