You need to eat often and little so for example eat breakfast at 8am them a piece of fruit or yorgert at 10am some lunch lunch at 12 pm small at 2 pm tea at 4 pm snack at 6 supper at 8 . Although people life style doesn't always allow this you get the drift . Hope this helps xx

Hi dab 247 I wish I had some way to help you keep the weight down but I have even had a gastric band fitted and have gained more weight more pain and I can’t even eat the things I used to like as they cause me to much pain I’m so sorry you just have to accept that’s who you are living with this illness is hard enough 😢
