chass

you said a mouthful!!!!

its AFTER the surgery the fun/work starts

follow all the rules you've learned

drink, drink, and drink some more

especially now - being fresh out from WLS

right now - drinking as much as possible is even more important than Protein (that will come)

never drink with your meals

stop drinking 15-30 minutes before you eat

don't drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

lots of other good rules too

protein, chewing thoroughly, eating very slowly

you are starting on the road to health, happiness and a longer life

good luck

You have been in the hospital since the 1st? Did you have complications? Glad you are doing well now.
