The hardest thing about WLS

It's not the foods, not the portion control, not even the vitamins.....it's waiting 30 minutes to drink!  That is so hard for me. I have 25 minutes left until I can have something. Why did I eat something a little salty???

I wait an hour. It got easier for me as time went by.

I can wait an hour if I'm busy. But when I'm not and really thirsty, it's torture!  :)

15 minutes left.

If i eat something salty and i NEED a drink (which i try not too!!) i have tiny sips of water, not enough to even swallow not sure if that makes sense. i wet my tongue lol!

but i don't take full sips for obvious reasons.

Sometimes if I'm that thirsty ill eat a grape or a slice of orange. Helps quench the thirst for a bit.

I suck on an ice cube. Really helps.

I was thinking the same thing-maybe an ice cube or ice chips.

I wait thirty minutes also and it is also the hardest thing for me.....I try to wait longer but that has rarely happened.
