Help w/ making pic's smaller.

Hi Jamie Wow, 1 1/2 hours is a long time. I was told not to drink for 5 minutes before a meal, and for 30 minutes after. I found not drinking with my meal hard to get used to. I still have to make a conscious effort not to. I look at the clock when I am finished eating so that I know when I can have that first sip again! Huggs, Ruth

Okay I checked my folder of info again and it says no fluids 30 minutes before a meal and no fluids an hour after a meal so I'm glad I posted this I was off by 30 minutes. But still an hour is a LONG time when your thirsty. When I get all the ingredients I need I'm going to try a fruit shake. My husbands grandma makes them and they are delish and refreshing. She puts bananas, apples and canned fruit juice (I'll have to get unsweetened), and water and it's quite tasty. I was thinking I could add some unflavored protein powder to it. I've heard alot of people talking about unjury does it have that icky whey protein taste or is it different? I cannot stand the whey protein it is horrible. Jamie

Maybe you could suck on ice chips or ice cubes? Technically, you're not drinking water (in terms of gulping it down). Kix

Jamie, I really struggled with this when I was a new post op because I've always drank so much water all the time. 30 minutes after eating is the rule my surgeon gives now. They told us 90 minutes after a meal too at first, but, I found that impossible! It will get easier! Lori

Ditto here on the 30 minute wait ... holy moly, 1.5 hours between won't leave you much time to get caught up! My program(s) (remember, I started with one program and switched post-op to another BS) BOTH said stop drinking 30 minutes before meal and wait 30 minutes after meal. As for juice, my nut advised no juice for first 4 months, and then only apple juice but by 50% water to help with the sugar-content. Hope that helps. Myra

I have a program called photo resizer that I downloaded from the net... it's awesome! Just do a google search for photo resizer.... didn't take long to down load either.

Thanks Jaci!! I'll work on it tomorrow and let you know how it worked. Kay

Hey Kay, Hope your walk went good....I got home and I started playing around and know I cant seem to get my pics smaller I know you click edit and then choose 25% but maybe I am copying and pasting the wrong tag line?? Hmmm...its getting late and I will have to play with it later. Tina
