You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay

Your thoughts?
I am currently at 130 lbs 10 pounds below goal weight!
My surgeon told me not to drink for 30 minutes before meals because the liquid would make my pouch "wet and slippery" so food would not stay in as long. When I really thought about it, though, that makes no sense. It's already wet in slippery in there.
I've also heard some people say not to drink right before eating because then you'd get full on liquids and wouldn't have room for your food. That makes no sense either, since liquids don't stay in the pouch long at all.
But I've never heard the stomach acid thing. I'm gonna check it out.

This is something they should tell us when we have surgery. I for one, don't like to just be told to do or not to do something, I like knowing the reasons behind it.
Thanks!
