Am having a hard time getting Ll the required Water in. With non drinking 39 minutes before or after eating ( and eating something 6 times a day) I can't find the time to get it all in. I am still sipping, but not itsy sips. I go back to work in a week (teacher) and my principal has just enforced a rule of no drinks on desk, including water. How will I ever be able to do this?

I'm also a teacher. I would just talk to him privately!

I agree talk to your principal. I was very open with mine about eating and drinking during class. I managed to keep a schedule so that it wasn't too distracting for my students and so I wasn't dehydrated or malnourished.

I am a teacher too. First might I say that rule seems ridiculous! I agree with Treed2 try talking to him first, and if that doesn't work maybe have your doctor write a note! Good luck!

I would talk to the principal privately about what's going on....I went to my principal to tell her about my revision I had in June, and not to share the info with my co-workers (I dont have to tell you how other women can be) and she is being very supportive....

Hello! I am a teacher too. I had my sleeve August 1 and school starts Aug. 22. I am very nervous about my new schedule and drinking. I agree that rule should be illegal. Good Luck. Nice to know there are so many teachers out there.

I'm a principal and if a teacher ever told me there was a medical reason to dodge a rule, I'd be ok with it in a heartbeat. Not to mention telling teachers they can't have a drink on their desk is grounds for a union complaint/grievance in my opinion. How ridiculous!!!

It's not illegal unfortunately.

I was a store manager at a local convience store chain, we have a no drink policy, where any customers can see. I took it up with the health dept. OSHA, the top of the corporate food chain anyone I could gripe to. Good luck I hope it can be worked out.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
