My surgeon says do not drink water 1/2 he before or after. To keep the protien (that we eat first of course) in our pouch longer. To make sure we get all the nutrients from the food. The water would push it through a little quicker, leaving less nutrients in our stomach to be flourished into the body. Just my 2cents.

My surgeon says its ok to drink if you need to, his instructions were wait one or two minutes after that bite of food then you can drink a bit. Always wait a minute or two between bites. And before anyone jumps up and down I have done this when I've needed a drink and have still lost over 7 kilos in 7 weeks. Also befiore anyone Knocks my surgeon he is the one that pioneered the lapband here in Australia and I do believe he is also a director in the us of the lapband centre in Texas.
But as others have said follow your surgeons instructions as we are all given different information.

Iv had testriction from day one but the doc also put 2 cc in at time of surgery! 4 weeks out got my first fill now im due for another and i can tell my band is ready! And so am i! I go in friday! Thatll put me at 6cc in my 10 cc band! Good luck!

Sliders are foods which go down easily, have high calories and little nutritional value. They don't fill you up. So things such as icecream.
Then there are other foods which go down easily but they are more satisfying and have a high nutritional value so they are not really a slider. e.g Greek Yogurt.

I had the pox 3 times. As a kid they werent really bad. I got them again about 19. Only about 6 spots showed up. And again when I was about 23. No spots then but confirmed with a blood test.I felt run down but not really flu like. I lived in different parts of the country each time and it must have been a different strain. Have been exposed several times since 23 and never did get them again. Hopefully never again.

I GET A DISCOMFORTING PAIN LIKE THIS AND IT IS GAS I EAT SLOWER NOW AND I DONT PUSH THE GAS I WALK AROUND AFTER EATING AND IT HELPS ME OUT ALLOT!

I am 4 months post op and can take "gulps". Now it's just Water, Sobe 0, Vitamin Water 0, or Crystal Light instead of Coke Zero. The first few days post op I kept my drinks to 1-2 oz at a time and gradually increased them over the next few weeks.
My eyes are still bigger than my stomach, I'm still working on that. Sometimes I take larger bites than I should but as long as I chew, chew, chew, I'm fine.

How awesome keep ip the good work!

I was told not to submerge in water for two to three weeks, including bathing.

Well.. worst case scenario:
Call one of the boys up to the front of class and have him pull your finger! Shock the class to hell, then you will be the coolest teacher in school!

I propped pillows under my stomach to reduce until it no longer bothered me!

My surgeon said if i gurgle or feel as if liquid floats before going down its too tight! There should never be any problems with fluids ever!

I believe i ate too fast and i believe i had pb issues i dont wanna sound gross with detail but i got sick and all that came out was a bunch of snot. Is this indeed pbing because i almost got sick getting sick lol!
