  1. I had a revision done on November 14 from the sleeve to the loop DS. I haven’t really lost anything. How much have you lost? Starting to get concerned
  2. By the way liquid moves through your system quicker than you think
  3. I was told the exact opposite from Weight wise bariatic center & my Surgeon . I was told to drink drink drink up until the first bite and then do not drink for another hour after my meal. If ur choice of food for a meal is first 2/3 protein and then if you still have room do a bote of vegetable there shouldn't be a problem. That's what I learned in my Post op Dietician class
  4. Drink water before your meals
  5. I've never heard of this. I think u would be the first. Give it some time and less thought
