Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Pam. Thanks for replying. I have been drinking for a while now. I'm sad with myself for doing it, but the feeling of food in my stomach bothers me. It's not painful it's just weird. I started today really trying to buckle down. This morning I had my protien bar and didn't drink anything with it. The other thing is that the carbs get me. At the beginning, I was all over the protien and then little by little it shifted into Carb-land. My husband started bringing home more and more carbs and I fell right back into it. I know that the drinking and the carbs is what is messing me up. At this point, I know that I can get back on track, I'm just the type of person that works better with someone reminding me of what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't get a lot of help from my friends and family anymore, so I'm looking elsewhere because I know I should be at my goal by now or darn close.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Krysta, I just read your reply to Pam... I was just wondering when you refer to your drinking do you mean liquids in general or alcohol ?? kristi > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I know this is going to be a silly question, but if you take everything slow (food and drink) and get the protein in why is it so critical not to drink while eating? I'm not saying gulping down 12 oz. of water while your eating, but sips throughout? Is this really detrimental to the weightloss? I'm only a month out and while I don't drink much while eating I do take sips every now and then. I keep the carbs down a lot though so my main question to you " big losers " is if drinking can actually hurt weightloss? > Hi Pam. Thanks for replying. I have been drinking for a while now.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 All I can say is that I lost most of my weight (almost 200 lbs of it) fast while I wasn't drinking while I was eating. Since I have started drinking while i eat, I haven't been losing hardly anything. My surgeon is 100% against eating and drinking at the same time. > > > Date: 2004/05/12 Wed PM 02:39:54 EDT > To: Gastric_Bypass_Family > Subject: Re: kristi > > I know this is going to be a silly question, but if you take everything > slow (food and drink) and get the protein in why is it so critical not > to drink while eating?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 That is not I was told. Actually the pouch has a new 'outlet' through the small intestine so drinking at eating time causes my pouch to fill up faster.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Patty, I have a few small glasses of water through out the day. There is NO way I drink the amount of water I should be drinking. I wish I was a water drinker..I know it's good for me, however my drink of choice is pop ! I have to tell you I tried a bottle of Diet Snapple....the flavor is called Snapple Apple...YUMMY !!!!!!!! very good ! kristi > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I think it's important to remember that this is merely one offices recommendations on the post-op procedures. As someone stated in another post, doctors have different plans that they want patients to be on. Some doctors and hospitals say that there are certain things you will NEVER have again and as my office puts it very clearly, that's simply not true. You choose to have what you want to have, you take control of this. Someone in my support group last night said it perfectly...dedication is not something you have, it's something you do. You make your choices, you follow the plan and don't overindulge.
