Wow what a 2 hour eye opening experience Susan Peacock provided to me. My surgeon should have this dietitian on his staff. My Dr was saying I should have 41 grams of food protein only and no more liquid protein. He told me not to drink for 1/2 hour before and after and of course during a meal. He gave me no guide lines as to how many calories a day I should have nor the specific types of protein I should be eating. Susan said 100 to 125 grams of protein and to shoot for 500 calories a day. To have at least 1 or 2 protein liquids during the day and to stay away from the process stuff I was eating as the salt was way to high.. She told me fruits and some carbs were ok to have after the protein. I shouldn't drink 1/2 before meals but drinking after a meal was fine. I have about 2 weeks and 2 days before my 3rd month follow up. Hopefully these changes will make a difference in my weight loss and get me out of this stall. Susan even thinking of joining this site and getting in contact with the founder Alex Brecker. I think that is fantastic. So glad I called her.

I'd be careful drinking after and not waiting 30 minutes to an hour... the pain is horrible. It even causes some people to vomit.

Yes my PA said no drinking after was very important to not stretch your new stomach - so do be careful.
