Summertime with the band



Recommended Posts

going through different threads in the forum, i see alot of posts suggesting that you have keep comsumption of liquids to a minimal. if this is true or is the case, do any of you bandsters find summertime to be difficult for the fact that you are more likely to get dehydrated? i am a big Water drinker myself and now that the twmp is rising, i'll probably be drinking a lot more. is dis something to be worried about? could you hurt yourslef over-drinking?

You can drink as much non-caloric liquid as you want. In fact, it's very important to keep hydrated, as this helps with weight loss. It's liquid CALORIES we're supposed to avoid, not liquid itself. And you should avoid drinking right after meals.

So drink up!

I drink tons of Water (and other things)! I always stop drinking about 1/2 hour before a meal though.

As long as you haven't just eaten a meal, liquids go through easy, Sasha. That's why they say to be careful of high calorie drinks like juice and wine.

:o

cool. i thought drinking a lot of Water would be hard because of the new littler space in the stomach.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
