| Hi Deb, I wait 45 minutes after drinking before eating. It is because our stoma (pouch) takes some time to drain. By eating too quickly after drinking, we overload the pouch. Also, liquid mixed with the small amount of food we consume can turn our food into a "slurry". This means that the food will pass more quickly through the stoma and therefore less nutrients will be absorbed into our body as it passes rapidly through our intestinal tract. But mainly, it is due to stretching the band. If you look at how non-banded people eat and also drink hug glasses of liquid, you can imagine the size of their stomach. We need to preserve our little stomas, after all that's why we had the surgery. I do find this rule very hard to stick to, particularly in summer when I am really thirsty. All the best, Cat |

| Hi Leanne, Yes I've come on here again after a long stint off this thread. I'm feeling like I'm eating more, too. Still losing, though, but it is a tad concerning to be eating more and feeling less guilty. TODAY ===== Breakfast - 2 weetbix, pura 99% ff milk Snack - 1 coffee with pura 99% ff milk Lunch - 1 200 ml Bulla drinking yoghurt (had a low blood sugar attack at the supermarket) Snack - 1 Trail Bar (nut museli bar), 2 ryvetas with avocado on top Dinner - Seafood with low fat creamy sauce (see Recipes thread) Dessert - 1 Berri "Quench" icy treat I've got another fill appointment in 6 weeks but this latest fill has given me the same "fickle band" issues that many of you others have. One day - FINE. Next day - unable to eat. I can't take my vitamins anymore and have resorted to crushing them. Stews and seafood are still fine. Mainly it is crackers and dryer stuff that causes issues. Pre-band 130 kg DOB - 6 Jan, 2009 - 119 kg Currently - 82.5 kg Cat |

| Shy this was discussed rather intently 2 -3 weeks ago, i will try and bump the thread for you. As you will read everyone is different. My bariatric nurse told me they are changing their original thoughts about drinking with meals. look for the thread its called "Drinking whike you eat". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Morning all, I was banded on the first of June and all is good and getting used to my band. Just a quick question, I have read and been told not to drink with meals. I think the rule is nothing to drink 15 mins before, nothing during and wait till 1 hour after food. Can someone pls explain why? Thanks so much. Deb |

| Good to see you are foregoing the chocolates too fairy, in the long term its best to try and keep them as a weekly treat, i know i sound like i'm preaching but we all need to change those habits that put us in this position in the first place. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

TODAY ===== Breakfast - none Snack - 1 tub of forme yog Lunch - 2/3 cup of pureed brocolli, zucchini, 99% ff bacon soup Snack - 1 mini pop ice block Dinner - 2/3 cup of taco salad Cat |
