silly question.....but Im not to sure.....so

when we drink water.....does the Water stay in our pouch or go right through to our bigger belly??????

I drink fast and alot and it doesn't bother me......but if it will stretch my pouch I would like to know so I can slow down....... so should I slow down......or keep drinking like I am??? :)

I was told the same thing - no guzzling. I drink alot of green and white tea and I just take a mouthful and usually swallow it in a couple of swallows. I drink a gallon of the diet green tea a day easily.

Relax, it is not going to stretch your pouch. The liquid goes through fairly quickly and obviously its not causing you any discomfort. It would be an issue if you were trying to drink like this though if your pouch was already full of food.< /p>

No stretching. I guzzle Water all the time and Snapple too. No problems...Best wishes!

I was under the same impression that I couldn't drink Water fast....to the point where I actually dehydrated myself shortly after my surgery. I finally called my nurse, and she told me that only applies to the first week, and after that I can guzzle until I'm full. Then I should give it a couple of minutes before continuing. I've been guzzling ever since with no problems whatsoever.

I think it's all just a matter of listening to your body and being able to recognize when it's time to stop...easier said than done, but it's a learning process! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
