Bad Day

you should of course practice not eating and drinking simultaneously while eating - this will get you ready for when you have restriction - it is impossible for me to eat and drink now - there is no room at all for drink - barely any for food - i'm tight. This is just what worked FOR ME. I'm not endorsing going against any rules. It just is what it is - I credit a little Water with my fullness and my fullness with my weight loss during bandster hell.

I was told if we drank with eating it would just wash the food out of the pouch. You are the first person I have heard say this. I would like to know if this has worked for anyone else.

my Doctor said its okay for me to have at the soft foods stage. I shred it up and put an Italian dressing on it. Have had no problems getting it down.

Do as your doctor tells you. Everyone is told different things. As long as you are following their rules and not having any problems getting it down then you're ok. Good luck, hope things get better for you

It took 112 days after my banding to get restriction I had two choices during that time. Diet like the old days or waste my time overheating I chose to diet and lost 37 pounds without restriction. Now I am restricted 8cc in a 10cc band. Now eating less is mindless. There is no more "dieting". The band dictates my portion size and switches off my cravings. You can choose to fold your cards and give up or do what we are all so expert at: lose some weight, get into exercise, get a calorie counter for your smart phone or computer and practice now what you will do with your band later on. The beauty of a restricted band is that all you have to do is choose the right foods, eat them in the right order and the band will do the test. It's just another diet without restriction but while you're waiting for restriction dieting is the way to go
