Hey Everyone!
I am struggling to get my water ( lucky if I drink 750mls a day) and protein in because of timings. How long do you leave between your meals?
I am trying to leave at least 10 minutes after drinking fluids before eating and at least 30 minutes after eating before drinking fluids again. But I am unsure when I can eat again?
Also I feel like I am tolerating too much food. I am tolerating about 300grams.
I am technically 5 weeks out although I was originally sleeved in 23 August 2019 then revised to bypass 5 weeks ago.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers their advice and guidance. X

Thank you for your response. I’m on an antacid but because I have not suffered with reflux since the surgery, I have not taken it everyday and I hadn’t thought about it like that.
Yes, I am still on liquid stage so I’m never satisfied because as you said it just passes straight through me. I was never a poor or a massive over eater prior to the surgery, (I had to have it for medical reasons) so to feel sooo hungry is a strange feeling.
I can start purée on Christmas Day so hopefully that will make a difference along with the antacid!
Thanks again for your advice.

did your surgeon prescribe an antacid? Many of them do for the first 3-6 months after surgery. Stomach acid can sometimes mimic hunger.
if you're still on a liquid or pureed diet, you're not going to feel "full". Those things go right through you. Plus your nerves were likely cut during surgery, and it takes awhile for them to regenerate. You should start feeling restriction once you move to solid food.
I would not start food early. Follow your surgeon's plan.
