Re: Just a lil question about liquids

[Guest guest]

I just put down about 12 oz of water in pretty short order here. Sometimes

it's an effort, sometimes not.

I've never waited before the meal to drink

I would absolutely indulge any desire to drink water at any time, except for

at least an hour after a meal. You can't drink too much, and if you're

exercising, etc., and ESPECIALLY if you're thirsty, you need it. I load up

right before I eat because I know it's going to be a while.

I must confess, I have been pretty slack about the water rule. Generally I

even eat with meals. (bite, sip, bite, sip). This is even worse than

drinking too soon after a meal. In the past it has not been a problem for

me, because I have been struggling to keep the weight on. However, my

honeymoon is over. I am a little over two years out and have gained 5 lbs

in the last month. It makes me cringe just to type it.

So, I started following the water rule a few days ago and was appalled at

how much less I can eat when I don't drink with my meals. It's not so much

that I was getting hungry sooner, it's just that I could eat so much more at

one sitting. What an eye opener! I've gotta get on track before the 5lbs

turns into 20 lbs. I'm so grateful for this group!

Hi Barbara,

Its something about the two year mark that seems to effect most of

us, that reality check that when we move away from the rules or slack

off in our eating habits, lo and behold, we can gain...I'm 20 months

and have found that if I let the snacking get away from me (my

version of drinking with meals), I will quickly gain a few pounds.

Like you, I'm determined to tackle it while it is just a few pounds

and not 20. Pre-op, ho-hum, I may have noticed after 20 pounds and

may have attempted to do something at 25 or higher....what a

difference.
