Wow totally different mine wants us to eat the whole meal within 30 min. If u don't the. Stop at 30 min.

Wow. Only 30 minutes? Mine told me to take an hour to eat and drink. We are all told so many different things, I'm not sure that they know much of anything.

10 minutes between bites does seem excessive. We're told to take small bites, put utencil down bewteen bites, chew VERY well. I'd go nuts waiting 10 minutes between bites......

And mine says no drinking at least 15 minutes before, no fluids during, and nothing for 30 minutes after.

I think that no matter what your surgeon says to do, there will be 100's out there that don't agree.

Crazy!

Lol that would be nice. Mine says the same thing about drinking!! I think they all are trying something different to say there's works!! Lol

Personally I think everyone although Dr's give you a guide just do what's comfortable for you, your body/stomach will let you know... My Dr never said anything about waiting that long, he just said once feel it has went down good then continue - I try & count like 2min between, just started that & it seems to help...

For some reason I have had a lot of "head hunger" today. I really have not had much of that since surgery. I didn't sleep well last night and was out of my routine this weekend as I was doing an art tour. I am hoping that tomorrow will be easier. Luckily I didn't have anything but my Proteins with me so my eating was fine.

Sorry to put so much tmi out there but I'm having a hard time. Thurs night I thought I was having a dumping episode because of a drink. Well here it is Sunday night. I'm still having extreme diarrhea I am taking Lomotil to help but it is still going on strong! Doesn't matter what I eat, is anyone else having or have had this problem. Ill be 6 weeks out on Wednesday

[Getting There 198]

I'm 6 weeks out too. I have had some occassional minor diarrhea but nothing too bad or prolonged. I took Amodium AD and was fine. If you're still experiencing trouble, make sure you're getting plenty of fluids for hydration - and if it were me, having taken something as strong as Lomotil, I'd call the doc's office in the morning.

Hope you feel better soon!

[whitsmom08 17]

Thanks getting there. That will be my 1st call in the am. I'm taking 4 lomotil a day and still having trouble. Hope this isn't my long haul!

[whitsmom08 17]

A unsweetened peach tea from Cheddar's.

[newgrandmother 725]

[whitsmom08 17]

Will that bother you for days?? I'm gonna have to google that.
