Just curious about waiting time from eating to drinking
teachbearga1 replied to fonally's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking. I have made the mistake of drinking before 30 minutes. I became very sick. -
I drink decaf and sugar free french vanilla instant coffee in the morning. I allow myself on the weekends to have skinny vanilla latte decaf with protein from Starbucks.

How soon can you sleep on your side.
teachbearga1 replied to cencalmom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am 12 days out. I am still not able to sleep on my sides. Laying on your back hurts. I am sleeping in a recliner. -
I am a very private person. The only people that are aware of my surgery are my parents. I prefer not to discuss my surgery with others. I do not want people to judge me. Therefore, some people are more open than me. Good luck on your journey.
