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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
