Do I need surgery?

Linda,

Thank you for some good suggestions and for sure I will check out Roz's Menus and Miles but about the drinking thing-wow! I have at least 2 things to drink at lunch and dinner and one of them is always water. I can't imagine not drinking with my meal! My boyfriend never drinks anything with his meals (just doesn't like it) and I don't know how he does it. You're right, I better start practicing this now....and I thought the lower food intake would be the hard part (lol).

Drinking before, during, and after is a BIG deal with WLS.  Drinking will push the food through to fast and there goes your nutrition.  The other thing that I had to do was give up carbonated drinks.  I thought if I can't do this one thing than I will never be successful after WLS.  I haven't drank anything carbonated for almost 6 years now.
