Timers to Regulate Eating vs. Drinking

Nov 21, 2010

I'm pre-op, so this might not even be an issue post op.

I'm thinking of getting a small pocket size timer that I can push to time my 30 minute drink cycle.  See, I'm really trying to practice waiting 30 minutes between eating and drinking.  But it's such an ingrained habit, I keep forgetting.   I look up and think, what did I just do?  Take a sip.  OH NO.  The problem is that the water is sitting right beside me all day, as I'm trying also to incorporate more water into my daily routine.

Also, I really can't remember the time I finished eating.  Was it 8:15, or 8:30?  When can I next have a drink?  I do think this 30 minute method works and has increased my satiety with what  I've eaten.  It's gettng the timing down that is now the problem.  

Today I call the surgeon's office to see if my file is complete and ready to submit to insurance.  I sure hope so.  Since it's already Thanksgiving, I'm betting that I won't get the surgery done this year.  That's OK, I'll deal.
