Worst part of the band so far

Well, now you've heard of it.

There's one. Any more?

Very interesting. I see my doctor next Friday. I am going to ask him. Thanks

It's not a vote based on numbers...I was just saying that is what my Dr said. I even posted a pic of him saying it. He's pretty awesome, I trust him. Still should listen to your own Dr. Mine just might be more on the cutting edge of research.

Oh schnap, I said it.

I drink right up until time to eat. I do not drink while I eat or 30 minutes after. After almost 5 years I honestly don't even notice anymore. I got pretty used to it after the first few months. The funny thing now is that when I cook for people I always forget to offer them drinks.

Someone wrote yesterday about the drinking. I told her you will get use to not drinking. I use sit at dinner with a 1/2 gallon of iced tea and drink most of it. Now I don't drink at all.

I'm used to it and it's a small thing for piece of mind. Like I've said, I've seen it burn too many people. No thanks. I've had my band for almost 5 years and I plan on keeping it for a lot longer.

Your post reminded me of the first barbecue my wife and I had after we got married. A friend asked for mustard for their hot dog. Lynn and I looked at each other and giggled. We had none. Neither of us use mustard, so it never dawned on us to have it in the house.

I'll keep your post in mind for the future.

I find the hardest part is not eating much in the am a Protein Drink. 1/2a banana. Or maybe a Protein Bar. It is only after about 2-3 in the afternoon I am thinking about a dinner meal. Works well for me because I work out a couple days around 1-2 and can't work out full. But I am aware the consensus is eating well throughout the day is preferable Just can't eat early

Getting in 64 oz Water plus 90+ G Protein in a day. Haven't quite figured out how to portion it out

I'm getting 60-80 grams. Scrambled eggs and Protein Shake made with skim milk. Oh and Isopure drinks with 40grams per bottle

I absolutely cannot have a drink near me when I'm eating. I will take a sip or two before I even realize what I'm doing.

I would love to drink while eating and I watched the video (thanks for the link), but I'm staying in this side of caution.

Once this new drinking while eating rule is out for a considerable length of time, most docs are on board and it becomes the new norm, I may try it then.
