? Sustainability is King ? What good is committing hardcore to something you cannot handle longterm only to give it up, feel defeated and revert to harmful behaviors? No good at all. Try for long term success by having *realistic* plans that are flexible and managable ❤

- WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ISSUE WITH CARBONATED DRINKS??? & other questions!
I was told never by several surgeons (I've had the pleasure of being treated/seeing more than one ?) with varing reasons why. Discomfort came up every time. IDK. A lot of us still drink soda/carbonated waters with little problem, I do not. One run in with cit mag nearly took me out the game, enough for me to avoid carbonation indefinitely. As always ask your surgeon, again.- Gastric Bypass Surgery

Visit your Surgeon, they can definitely help get you back on the path and for moral support through heartbreak listen to Christina: Good Luck ?- Can I drink too much liquid?
*Pehaps not too much, but too quickly* Liquid mostly flows unrestricted through the stomach. However I was told by my team that it may be possible to train your stomach to empty too quickly by putting strain on the pyloric sphincter if constantly drinking high volumes quickly. (maybe because there isnt a lot of space to hold contents like before especially when the greater curvature removed like in VSG but obviously I'm not a Dr so this is only conjecture) ?Pics of anatomy added for reference? *Ask your own surgeon about their thoughts/recommendations* Small sips with pauses in between was apart of my initial instructions and may prevent this. If you're easily getting all of your hydration needs met in a small window of time, *perhaps* slow down a bit and see if that makes a difference. Good Luck ? - ❄DEC 2019 CHALLENGE❄
