Shirley,

Here is what my surgeon tells us about water loading (taken from their

website). It is not recommended for new post-ops, but a good thing to do

once your pouch heals and you are eating normal food. If you want to read

more you can go to www.sabariatric.com Hope this helps. - D

Pre-load with water. Just as you can avoid severe hunger with proper use of

the pouch/tool, it is also manageable to avoid thirst and remain adequately

hydrated. Beginning about 2 hours after a given meal, you should begin to

drink (zero calorie) liquids aggressively. This brisk liquid consumption

should finish with a " water load " about 15 minutes before you are to eat

again. " Water load " means that you quickly drink as much liquid as you can

hold, intentionally stretching your pouch. This maneuver serves to top off

your hydration and to send satiety signals to your brain before you eat -

this should moderate the pace and amount of your eating. Some allowance in

this system must be made for the time of day. It is a good idea to get

fluid in before breakfast, including the water load. It is also OK to wait

longer after dinner (three or four hours) before drinking fluids.
