    chass

    you said a mouthful!!!! :lol:

    its AFTER the surgery the fun/work starts ;)

    follow all the rules you've learned

    drink, drink, and drink some more

    especially now - being fresh out from WLS

    right now - drinking as much as possible is even more important than Protein (that will come)

    never drink with your meals

    stop drinking 15-30 minutes before you eat

    don't drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

    lots of other good rules too

    protein, chewing thoroughly, eating very slowly

    you are starting on the road to health, happiness and a longer life :)

    good luck
