Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 hi krista..i hate not being able to drink either...but i do take a lil sip only at end of meal to help push my food down.try to limit yourself to that...how long have you been doing that...i hope not long ..it will be hard to break the habit...you have done so well but still have a ways to go...please DO use this gift you have been given! Anyone Relate?? Hello group. I have been lurking and posting periodically, but didn't know what to say. I'm 2 years and 2 months out and I still have a lot to lose and am getting very frustrated with myself. The weight is fluxuating around the same spot.. I'm having trouble sticking with my program and I think the honeymoon period is over. Guess I'm in desperate need of some inspiration and maybe some help with how to deal with the drinking and eating thing. I hate not drinking when I eat and I know that is sooooo bad for me to do. When I eat and don't drink, I feel sick to my stomach. I want to keep going and use this tool that I have been given. I still have at least 100 more to go and I want it gone! If anybody can relate or has some good tips or inspiration, I would so love to hear it. Krysta Started 487.5 down to 290 (My goal is 180...)

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 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I had my bypass March 8th 2001. I started at 487.5 and am down almost 200lbs. I want to lose approximately 100 lbs more. I think that I am getting less support from family and friends because it has been 2 years and it has become routine the way I eat and the things I do and since the weight has slowed way down, they don't see the results anymore. I know what you mean about starbucks. I have a weakness for starbucks myself. kristi > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I agree with you Patty..... I was never told that the pouch empties quicker when you drink. Let's face it theres not much room in there regardless what you put in it! I think when people refer to drinking during a meal...I think they are just sipping. I know for myself that my meal goes better when I sip on a ice cold Diet Coke...I bet I only drink about 1/8 of a cup during a meal.. LIke I said I just sip on it. kristi > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Maybe I'm just bold then because when I drink during a meal I can eat twice the amount of food. My doctor has told me that it does assist in the intake of more food and consequently absorption of more calories as well as a feeling of hunger faster. This process is so individualized that we can't compare our experiences or our doctors. I didn't intend to start a debate. I was just hoping to find some folks out there that may be experiencing the same issues... > > > Date: 2004/05/13 Thu AM 09:26:15 EDT > To: <Gastric_Bypass_Family > > Subject: Re: kristi > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Sonja, I only drink about 48 ounces of fluid a day. I have apple juice with breakfast and then I have diet soda or instant tea after that. Water causes an upset stomach.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 No, it still takes quite a while for the pouch to empty. There are times I have to go the bathroom during dinner times so that I can continue to eat my meal. Patty Spakoski Open RNY 2-25-99 Boston, MA Dr. Forse 267/145/225 Help!!
