Fluids and Hunger

[mom2girls 1]

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or am I just crazy and need a fill. We are suppose to get 64oz or more of Water a day and we have that 30min to hour before meal and 1 hour after meal where no drinking is allowed in order to help with the hunger between meals. My issues is if I wait longer than an hour I stay full longer? Does this happen to any of you? It is so hard to get the water in if i wait too long between meals but I have longer periods in between if I hold off longer to drink anything.

There are no set rules when you have to drink and when you don't, just those 15 minutes before a meal and 45 to an hour after the meal. Whatever works for you as long as you are getting your fluids in. I tend to drink alot of fluids in between meals all at once because that helps me to keep full, plus helps to get my fluids in.

Your pouch will empty in a half hour, so you can safely drimk then. Personally, I do not have to worry about drinking at all, but this will be a much bigger issue if you are having too much hunger!!!

At restriction, I've found that I can drink all the way up until the point I start eating. I can't drink during meals, and I generally wait about half an hour after eating before I resume drinking. My key has been having a water bottle with me all the time...I drink it if I've got it!
