Had mine done on Oct. 25th everything is going great! I just miss having water when eating meals. I never wait as long as i should then it hurts and i feel sick. How do you get use to not drinking? Man, I miss my ice water : (

Maybe you never will get used to not drinking Water at meal times..But the outcome is pain you say if you do it...that will not change..Your sleeve does not stretch easily...

You are diluting the food you consume by drinking water too early....Figure out something to do to make that 30-45 minutes pass before you take a drink.....

I clear the table, load the dishwasher, straighten the kitchen and then I sit and talk to my hubby til the time comes that I can have a tea or water.....

Drink your water all day if you want....64oz...of all the ice water you need.....k

I was actually dreading this part the most. I thought there was no way in the world I would be able to NOT drink while I was eating. Surprisingly, this hasn't been that hard for me. Most times, I actually go longer than 45 minutes and then I have to try to make up it. I am 10 weeks out and I still cannot drink cold water. Has to be room temperature. Works for me though.

I drink a LOT before eating.. The few times I've eaten without drinking prior, I was miserable and counting the minutes until I could drink... but when I drink a bottle of water 15 minutes before my meal, I'm good for over an hour after.
