babyk 1 Posted October 11, 2010 My mouth becomes so dry and I end up giving in. I feel like I can't help it. Any ideas about how to make it a little easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trishfish 1 Posted October 11, 2010 when you reach proper restriction you will not be able to even take a sip. there will be much pain! hang in there. for me when I started the journey, I just didn't set a drink @ my place @ the table. you'll get there! :puke: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
babyk 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Ok thanks :puke: I am 2 weeks post op and had to have Unfill. I was so tight ( from the Fluid that was left in the band when they tested it for leaks- 2 cc's) that I was miserable and in so much pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted October 11, 2010 Do your best to stay hydrated between "meals". You will get to the point where it is just habit to drink at the right times. After reaching good restriction and everything healed well, I can drink until just before my first bite of food. After I take that first bite of food there is no more drinking.

AshleyNM 0 Posted October 11, 2010 I agree with Trish. When you reach proper restriction, you won't be able to drink while you eat. I think I'm getting closer!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
