Guest guest Posted May 11, 2000 Report Share Posted May 11, 2000 Hi all - I have been researching other WLS being offered in my area, and met with a nutritionist at the clinic today who told me about " water loading " , so I thought I'd share... On her instruction list was the suggestion that " In order to prevent intense thirst, fluids must be " pushed " in the two to three hours preceding the meal. " Water-loading " fifteen minutes before the next meal assures maximum hydration prior to the meal. By limiting your fluids 15 minutes before and 90 minutes after meals, food stays in your pouch longer and helps prolong feelings of fullness. " This was news to me as a pre-op, so I thought I'd share it with all you post-ops and ask if this was true??? (From what I've been reading on the list, it's difficult to get ANY fluids down!) Just FYI... M. (MGB pre-op...but not for long!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
