Does anyone drink a lot of liquid at meals to get things like bread down?

I have lost 65 pounds so far, and six months in I hadn't had a fill. Now after my fill, I end up drinking a lot of liquid to be able to tolerate any kind of bread. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it hard for you to loose weight do to this because you end up flushing some of the food through and being hungry faster? I don't feel that hungry but I am a little worried about this.

Not sure how long you've been banded...but, my experience has taught me that even a small SIP during a meal will delete the meal!

After the band, you no longer can truly successfully drink with your food. If your surgeon hasn't told you....no liquids 30 mins prior to and no liquids 45-an hour after. With the band, you have a small openeing.

You will find that liquid causes your tummy and esophagus to create more liquid. It only has one place to go...UP AND OUT!

So, experiment with drinking during meals, but be sure you're close to a rr...for a quick run!

I was banded March, 09.

Congrats on your weight loss! I don't think you're going to flush food through! I think you're going to flush food OUT!

you shouldnt be eating bread at all,because it will get stuck,it will definatley get stuck if you try to flush it down because liquids will make it swell

I am also around 60+ pounds down....and that was my "brilliant" idea. However it didnt work quite the way i intended it. I ate the bread...felt a little stuck....drank some ater. I swear that the Water turned that bread into concrete! lol! Since then, bread just hasnt been quite as appealing. I have been at the same weight give or take 2 pounds for months now. I am now getting back to the basics...starting with the 5 day pouch test. I am staying full just like i am suposed to. So that is a good thing....now if i can just stay away from the junk food. All the working out that i have been doing is just allowing me to mainatin my weight and eat the junk. Darn sweet tooth!

Good luck to you!

I can not eat bread at all....I have learned not to even try. I am 3 1/2 months out and have lost 45 Lbs. I have only had 1 fill at 1cc.......I have also figured out that just because I might be able to eat something at one point it always changes and then I am not able to tolerate it another time. But, bread is a big no no for me.....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
