I don't think we go into starvation mode if we only eat when we are

hungry. It seems that if our body is able to tell us when it needs fuel,

then we should listen to that. I personally don't eat before about 10 in

the morning. So I don't think that is a problem either.

During the week, when I'm at work, I have a pretty regular schedule of when I

eat and drink. But on the weekends, I just eat when I'm hungry and drink when

I'm thirsty. It seems to work for me.

********* I don't think so. You just don't want to go into starve & stuff

mode. Part of our disease is to not want to eat til we have a few hours of

day under our belts, then the tnedency is to eat til bedtime. That's the

bad part.

********* me, either. If I wait til I'm done eating and try to dirnk, it

just sits there. If I sip WHILE I am eating, I can eat much more food.

That's the really bad thing.

******** some ARE written in stone, like staying satisfied until the next

meal.

My personal experience:

If I get too hungry, I eat more than I would have otherwise and usually

regret it. If this is not happening to you, I wouldn't sweat when I eat.

I absolutely follow the pouch rules about drinking after I eat and wait one

full hour. I load up on water before I eat because I know it will be a

while. The only exception is a sip of water to take pills or relieve dry

mouth. This rule, besides not washing food out, over-stretching the pouch,

makes me aware of getting in a lot of water daily.

So, my $.02.........eat when you're hungry, water rule is written in

stone....no reason anyone should be different on that one.

I can't follow the rules about not drinking water. I have allergies and

asthma so my mouth is always dry. I can't eat without drinking, my mouth

and throat get too dry and I can't swallow. I find that if I drink while

eating--I'm talking drinking normally, the liquid sits on top of my food and

causes me a lot of pain--and I end up throwing up. Instead I take teeny

sips while eating and it helps me get through the meal--then I have to wait

about 30 minutes before I can really drink again, but I have to take small

sips before then. I have never had liquids push my food through---they

always just sit on top of the food and make my pouch hurt and I end up

throwing up. So, no gulping while eating---but I do have to take tiny sips

to keep my mouth moist.

When I get too hungry and try to eat, I usually can't eat, it's like my

pouch shrinks or something if I wait too long. I try not to wait too long

between meals, but sometimes with work and stuff I don't get a chance to eat

for many hours. When I finally try to eat, I can only eat a couple bites or

I get sick. Since I work in a restaurant, the opportunity to graze is

always there, but whenever I try to have a meal, I usually can't eat it

because as soon as I go to eat, we get customers and by the time I get back

to my food it's cold and gross. So, I end up making 3 meals in a shift, and

eating less than half of each. That's the pain of having a pouch (and the

beauty of it) I have to eat slow, so I never have enough time to finish

anything!!
