I had never heard that a straw would enlarge the pouch but rather it would cause us to swallow excess air. I have used straws and have not found it to be a problem. I love beer too but have been afraid to try it because of the carbonation. I have seen posts from people reporting that they were miserable after drinking it because of the excess gas. I have had a bloody mary or a glass of red wine occasionally. I prefer the bloody with top shelf alcohol like Grey Goose vodka. I read somewhere that our bodies can better process alcohol that has been distilled many times.

There was an article on this site (can't find it now) about fact or fiction, using a straw to drink with will enlarge your stomach. According to this article there is no scientific proof that that will happen.
My surgeon's office told me to NOT use a straw for that very reason. How do the rest of you feel about that?
There also was another article written by the same doctor about drinking pop (even diet pop) or other beverages that a fizzy. Again, I was warned to not drink anything "fizzy". This article said that was also a myth. Your thoughts on that would also be appreciated. I'm not a pop drinker so I'm not worried about it. However an occasional beer would be awesome. Yes, yes I realize there are a lot of calories in alcoholic drinks. I'm not talking about right now, but down the road a beer once in awhile would be nice. I'm just curious what your thoughts are on these two topics.
Thanks
Did you have weight loss surgery travsis3890? Why are you arguing about this? I have been a part of this community 9 years now. I don't need to see "studies" or question my bariatric surgeon on this. I have seen first hand what drinking with meals does to people who have had weight loss surgery- they never get to goal or they gain a big part of what they lost back. Of the people I socialize with, I'd guess 90% of those who drink with meals are back up to an obese BMI. I'm one of the few who have maintained 100% of my loss. I will never drink with my meals.

Love it but can't use whole packet, about 1/4 will do me fine or its too sweet
Does the calcium citrate have to be chewable ? Considering I swallow Tylenol I was just wondering
That's an absurd article. Not one fact in it.
Our bodies are not full of toxins, and there is no magic infused water.
Stop looking for miracle cures. The surgery works just great if you follow a pretty simple plan, whi*****ludes not drinking with or after meals.
If you really want to try drinking magic water with your meals, please check back in 5 years, and we can compare weightloss.

Fair enough. I agree on the fact that it is possible to find a research to claim any assertion today.
These detox water recipes- http://www.fabhow.com/how-to-make-your-own-detox-water.html
claim to help you lose weight. How effective they really are, if taken in isolation during an intermittent fast or with the daily routine?
Hey!
This one is not carbonated.
I DO have a surgery date :) next Monday the 18th, and I am looking so forward to that egg!

I had that 30/30 rule when I was right out of surgery, but at some point (I think when I was cleared for soft foods), I was told I could drink right up to the point I ate, and then I had to wait at least *60* minutes to start drinking again. I still follow that rule...
