Tips needed-Hard to space meals, drinks



Recommended Posts

So I'm just 8 days post RNY. started eating soft solids yesterday.

I'm finding it hard to space meals and stop drinking 30 minutes before. For example, I meant to eat a meal at a certain time and forgot to stop drinking 30 min. before, so I had to push back mealtime.

Then today, my husband is grilling and I anticipated it to be ready at 5:30 but now not ready until 6:00.

I'm sure it will get easier, but any tips?

Hey AZBlackhawk

I haven't tried it myself yet, just downloaded and registered, but my nutritionist recommended a smartphone app called BARITASTIC it's got timers and food logs and recipes. My op is in a week and I'll definitely give it a go.

I have to stop drinking 10-15 min before I eat. Sometimes I drink almost right before I eat. The reason I have to drink that close to my meals is to wash out the stomach so to speak. After I eat I have to wait at least 30 min before I can drink again.

I was told just 30 minutes after, not before AND after. Every nutritionist is different, but I'd think after is more important, anyway. I drink right up to, and sometimes sneak a sip while I'm eating just to clear my palate (don't tell LOL). The 30-minute wait after is main one to watch.

I agree

I was told 30 minutes before and after. Everyone is different it seems!

I was told 30 minutes before and after so I rotate between eating and drinking and I start drinking first thing in the morning when I wake up. 7ish in the morning is when I start to drink. Then 10am is when I have my first meal of the day. Around 10:30a I drink again and so on... I had to sort this out for a few weeks before getting the hang of it. I'm still used to eating barely anything.

I know why we don't drink while we eat and why we should wait a good while after. What I'm curious to know is why people have to stop 30min before they eat? I have 10-15min, and it's to clean out the stomach before I eat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
