What's the postop rule you absolutely follow?

There some rules I've broken but I always wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking water. I literally check my watch when I stop chewing and calculate what time I can start drinking.

I follow all of my program rules. I'm 3.5 months post op.

I take a multivitamin and one calcium chew a day. I fear losing nutrients and having weak bones and other ailments from defiency when i'm oldet

I followed all rules for first 6 months or so, then I defined what maintenance was going to look like for me individually. Absolutely follow the rules until you can fly on your own.

I'm still learning from trial and error. But I don't skip a morning protein or my multivitamins.

14 months out. 30-30-30 rule on drinking; vitamins. These are the two I still do faithfully.

I'm 13 months out, and I still follow pretty much everything except for 2 that I never followed - I eat in front the the TV sometimes, and I don't chew a lot or eat super slow. Oh - and I don't always measure food, but I still do most of the time. Other than that, I'm pretty careful about all my eating habits.

Not a true rule, but the best advice: under eat your sleeve

Protein protein protein. I really make sure to focus my food on protein.

The rules I have been most apt to stick to would be the 30 20 30 rule and the small portions rule. I cannot eat and drink within 30 minutes of eachother and I cannot have more than 3-4 bited per meal without having to throw it back up. I am almost 3 months post op.
