Know it's a NO NO, but I don't really use Condiments on things I eat so even a mini sandwich would be dry, like lunch meat, a sandwich thin, and lettuce only.

Do any of you take small sips if you eat something dry? I already have a drier mouth due to Zoloft, so I'm trying to figure out eating without Water lol

I take the generic of Zoloft and have not noticed any issues with dry mouth due to it. My sleeve was August 6th and I have not tried eating any breads yet, but I do eat small pieces of roasted chicken. When I do eat something that tends to dry, I just chew on it longer and try to work up more saliva. Smaller bites make a difference too, you don't have as much to try and moisten up.

Yeah it's one side effect I get from it...and heaven forbid I try and get off the stuff! If I even miss a few days I can feel it..headache, brain zaps (at least that's what people on forums call it), nausea ugh I want to get off it someday

I feel if I always waited the 15 min before or the 45 after EVERYTIME I ate like they suggest I would never drink. I don't think it's harmful. I just think they don't want you to fill up on liquids plus I think it can push certain foods through your pouch faster. So if you do take "sips" just watch how much you are eating. I have not sipped and ate yet but I usually only wait 5-10 minutes after I eat to start drinking again.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
