Hi All,

I started eating soilds on thursday.. and I completley forgot about the whole not drinking while i eat... I am scared now.. because i have been doing it for a few days... what could happen?

Hi:

I'm guessing that it won't do any damage. I think that you're not experiencing the full/restriction feeling because by drinking and eating at the same time you're washing the food through the band.

If you are extremely thirsty it's better to drink something before you eat than after. However, it's best just not to drink and eat together.

I hope that things go well for you. I found it hard at first to schedule everything to happen at the right times because I'm a coffee junkie. So, I decided that I will drink coffee from 7 am to 10 am and then have Breakfast at 10:30 or 11:00 am.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

Lucky you Sue we aren't supposed to have caffeine. I am sure I will, but that's down the road. I miss it though!

There is one thing I could never give up - coffee with fat free flavored cream. It keeps me sane. Nobody wants to be near me if I had to give up coffee.

The main issue is washing food through the band and either being able to eat more than you should or not staying full as long as you could. Therefore hindering weight loss...I'm sure you will be fine, just start over :-).
