Happy Tuesday Ya'll.. How is everyone?Sipping FAQ needed

Hey Ya'll. I haven't been around much and just wanted to say hi..  Im on full liquids now YAY so Im enjoying the plutehera of stuff.  Im even sipping on sugar free chai tea mixed with LF Milk.. YUMMO! My question is this, is there a rule for sipping? Like sip wait 1 min sip some wait a min sip.etc etc.. or any tips on sipping too fast. I have noticed the "full" feeling and the internal switch of "im done" just want to make sure Im not sipping too slowly or fast for that matter...  Is everyone ready for the holidays? I'll be one of these last minuite shoppers I reckon.  I dragged DH for a small walk down 5 houses and back to enjoy the winter air and christmas lights... that was fun! :) Have to prevent me from going stir crazy.... I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the winter holiday season...  Amanda

Hey there baby girl .. how are YOU ? I see you are sipping away ..  There is really no RULE OF THUMB .. but you are already picking up on your full signals .. that is awesome . Do not sip fast however .. look at your pouch as a funnel .. if you put it in to fast .. it will swirl around and come back up .. so sip ... wait a few .. but you are getting it .  How did the Acieve work out for you ?  I see you are walking .. that is awesome .. so many come to the place you are and just do nothing .. hoping that the surgery will do it all .. look at all the success here on the boards .. these people did not loose 200 , 150 or 100 pounds by sitting on their butts .. no mam .. they got up to move .. and that is the key .. Move to Loose !!  I am so proud of you .. just meeting you and seeing your zeal for life .. really gave me back hope that people do still appreciate life .. and this tool they were given .. Congratulations again !!  As to Christmas .. can you believe that I am done except for Alan .. OMG this man will not let me out of his site .. must be the new girls .. LOL ..  So I am leaving for RIc Saturday and will shop down there .  If you need ANYTHING .. Please let me know before I leave , and I can come bring you what ever ..  take care .. Call me sometime .,..  Tink

Hi Amanda - glad to hear you are doing well. The rules are each person is different & ya just gotta see what works for you. The "full" feeling is your body's way of indicating to you to slow down. Its a very healthy/good thing. The more walking you begin to get in the more sipping you'll not only want but will need to do. Just remember not to pu**** with the sipping. No chugging it!  The holidays are coming together. Not sure I'm completely ready for them but they are coming and so I best get as ready as I can. I love taking the buggas out to see the Cmas lights all over. We've got some great neighbors & our house is lit up outside as well.  Take care & glad to see you here!
