Eating & Drinking question

I know right after RNY they said you could not eat & drink at the same time, but is that forever? I've put a couple of pounds back on & I wonder if that is why. I'm going to do what I have to do. Thank you

  • @ Correct--forever. You should never, from now on, drink while eating. Stop drinking 30 minutes prior and wait 30 minutes after your meal as well.

  • @ I don't know. There are always so many variables. Are you still keeping a food journal? Are you tracking your Protein? Are you eating protein first? Are you drinking enough Water? Are you exercising

    I too write it down, yes old school. I actually purchased a few biggest loser food journals when they were on sale and it was a good investment. I will probably always keep journals of my food intake;

It's somehow magical! I find the same thing. If I write things down, it works. If I don't, I feel like I am doing all the same things but am not losing! I don't know what it is but it works. I had heard that years ago in Weight Watchers and also in therapy (though it wasn't about food). There is just something that happens with the brain/hand connection!

Hi, are you eating or drinking your Protein first? Drinking a lot of Water? If not try that & see if that helps. Try & exercise too. Good Luck !

I eat whatever I can, please help me structure a quality diet. Any suggestions? My I had my Surgery 11/5/2015. I'm 50lbs down but my wl had stopped. Help!!!!

You have done really well on your weight loss! I received an outline from my nutritionist showing what to have each day. It set out the amounts of liquids and food to take in the first week, second week,etc. From that, I was able to plan out my meals for the week. This helped me with grocery shopping most of all. I don't really stick to my plan all the time, but it is easy to substitute, for instance, 2 ounces of turkey breast for 2 ounces of some other Protein. It has helped me get into a routine which I really needed. I also write down what I eat and drink during the day so that I know if I'm meeting my protein and Water requirements.

If something along those lines doesn't help, I suggest that you meet with your nutritionist. That would actually help most.

Baritastic is another app.

I hated all the myfitnesspal tracking things. Mostly because you have to set things up first so it knows what to count and I just didn't have the patience for that. Was I missing something on how t use it?

I personally didn't like myfitnesspal. It was the one my NUT suggested. My nurse uses LOSEIT. Tried that one- much easier for me and more user friendly IMO.

I just saw this question.if you want more responses, I recommend you start your own thread with your specific question.

Do you have a NUT? A 50 pound weight loss in three months is great. What is your concern?

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids every day?

I have an app called fat secret, I love it!!! Very simple and easy to use, tracking your food definitely makes you accountable for what you stick in your mouth!! Try something like that and drink,drink,drink! Water is the key to success as cliche as that may sound. Good luck!!
