I just had a "DUH!" moment!!!

Yep...a real "duuuuhhhhh" moment for me...Here it is...

Did you realize that if you truly follow even just these two rules of WLS...drinking your 64 oz. of fluids a day and not drinking for 45 minutes after you eat (or whatever your particular surgeon suggested),  it's nearly impossible to overeat????   You spend alot of your day drinking to get it all in and you can't drink for about an hour after, you really have to plan it out!   I know....I'm an "oldie" but these little tricks are helping me again!  Just wanted to share and also admit that "I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING!!" Have a great day everyone! Theresa

Isn't that funny?? I just learned that a couple of weeks ago. I upped my water and my protein and lo and behold, my "plateau" was busted. Kinda scary that those habits can sneak in when we least expect, huh?? Hope your day is wonderful.

Thanks!  Yeah, too funny really.  I am pretty religious about not drinking after eating, but realized I wasn't drinking enough, basically because I keep snacking!  So, concentrating once again on the "rules", and it is helping.  Theresa

Yup, the thirty-thirty rule has saved me from some impulse eating and forced me to plan things out more than once.  And, it seems to be the easiest rule for the normal folks to understand.  I have been known to start sipping in the face of temptation and then they know I can't drink and eat.  Kind of like insurance, I think. Funny how much I can choose to forget....  oops.  Thanks for the reminder to be vigilant!
