Pasta/carbs?
Because when Pasta gets wet it expands and when it expands in your puch you will have ZERO room for whats most important.. PROTEIN!! Hope this helps. CHRISTIAN<<

Day 2 of liquids and Im hungry
WOW.. Im actually surprised your hungary.. Jello was my big thing the first few days.. WALK WALK WALK and REST REST REST>>> That may help you pass the time. Its odd though I was never ever hungary and still 7 to 8 months later never have the feeling of hunger. They say that goes with the Gastric Sleeve. Just saying what i was told by several people.

"No drinking 30 mins before/after eating" - probably a silly question
I have found it very easy to stay within the rule set for me. no drinking 15 min before eating and 1 hour after. Once you start doing it it becomes second nature. Its odd when you goto restraunt and you say no drink.. Most times they say not even water>? I say no thank you i dont drink while i eat.. Thats all. Another bit if advice is when you go out to eat get a "DOGGIE BAG" right up front and when food comes just put half in the box.. I know it sounds silly but it helps. I get KIDS MEALS also and a kids meal is like 2 meals. Chris

Vitamin Assist!
I was sleeved about 7 months ago. Started program in April of 2013.. Down over 190lbs. The only pain i have is the ammount of Vitamins i take a day twice a day.. I recently was told about an all in one Vitamin called BARIATRIC FUSHION.. Its only $25 per bottle and it takes care of everything.. You take 1 3xs per day. Thats it. I would recommend people checking it out. Hope all are doing well.. Christian
