Liquids wash the food out of your pouch, so you don't get full. Eating while

drinking liquids was one of the ways I had a huge regain, so I can tell you,

don't do it. If I drink a soda while I eat, I can easily consume several cups of

food -- I've eaten an entire foot-long Subway sandwich, over about 45 minutes to

an hour, while drinking soda with the meal.

I would say wait at least half an hour to an hour after eating before you drink

anything. Of course if you are choking or eat something really spicy, SIP a

little liquid to help out, but don't make it a regular practice (believe me,

it's so much harder to lose later on).

Tara... if I were to say the number one pouch rule that has helped me get

back on track it has been observing this!

I had actually wondered if I had stretched my pouch when I first came on

this list. What I quickly learned was how much I could push into that pouch

with the help of liquids. It's been very hard for me because I am drinking

liquids all the time. Getting in the water was never a big problem for me.

But once I struggled to follow this rule I learned just how little my pouch

does hold.

One of the most challenging situations for me regarding this is eating out.

I find that if I ignore it, I can eat a full dinner because dinner is so

slow being served, etc. It's very hard to just sit there playing with your

silverware, etc but if that is what I have to do I do it.

> Even if i cant cant follow the rules for the pouch , even if the carb

monster is holding my hand,i can totally be off track but i will not drink

with meals 20 minutes before and about 30 minutes after.It was hard to get

use to it but now i just do it. Now if i happen to have something spicy or

the whats nots then i sip, or if im at a some kinda function i will sip a

little wine with my meal.Funny when i set the table for dinner i forget to

put the kids cups out, half the time they dont drink with thier meals

either.
