Wow totally different mine wants us to eat the whole meal within 30 min. If u don't the. Stop at 30 min.

Wow. Only 30 minutes? Mine told me to take an hour to eat and drink. We are all told so many different things, I'm not sure that they know much of anything.

10 minutes between bites does seem excessive. We're told to take small bites, put utencil down bewteen bites, chew VERY well. I'd go nuts waiting 10 minutes between bites......

And mine says no drinking at least 15 minutes before, no fluids during, and nothing for 30 minutes after.

I think that no matter what your surgeon says to do, there will be 100's out there that don't agree.

Crazy! :)

Personally I think everyone although Dr's give you a guide just do what's comfortable for you, your body/stomach will let you know... My Dr never said anything about waiting that long, he just said once feel it has went down good then continue - I try & count like 2min between, just started that & it seems to help...

For some reason I have had a lot of "head hunger" today. I really have not had much of that since surgery. I didn't sleep well last night and was out of my routine this weekend as I was doing an art tour. I am hoping that tomorrow will be easier. Luckily I didn't have anything but my Proteins with me so my eating was fine.

Sorry to put so much tmi out there but I'm having a hard time. Thurs night I thought I was having a dumping episode because of a drink. Well here it is Sunday night. I'm still having extreme diarrhea I am taking Lomotil to help but it is still going on strong! Doesn't matter what I eat, is anyone else having or have had this problem. Ill be 6 weeks out on Wednesday

I'm 6 weeks out too. I have had some occassional minor diarrhea but nothing too bad or prolonged. I took Amodium AD and was fine. If you're still experiencing trouble, make sure you're getting plenty of fluids for hydration - and if it were me, having taken something as strong as Lomotil, I'd call the doc's office in the morning.

Hope you feel better soon!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
