Can I have some feedback?

Well what are you eating for Snacks? Still a solid item, right? Or are you having Soup with no solids? I was simply told no eating and drinking at the same time. It was not defined. Simply no eating and drinking. Maybe someone else has a better answer. Best.

Nope. No eating or drinking at the same time.

How far out are you? If you're just recently out of surgery, no eating and drinking at the same time, because it more quickly flushes the food through your stomach and you are not full for as long. Also, following the rules initially is a good idea. I tried this briefly, but I can't not have my mouth wet when I'm eating, so I have eaten and drank at the same time since about a month post-op. I am cognizant of the fact that I may not feel full for as long, but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life choking down dry food. I'm 13 months post-op and about 8 pounds from goal. Eating and drinking at the same time won't hurt you, you just might not lose weight as quickly if you don't pay attention to how much you're eating.

No eating and drinking at the same time. I use the ap Bariatric timer to make sure I've waited sufficient time. It even reminds me to eat if too much time passes.

Like Ava fern said, there is no reason why you can't physically eat and drink at the same time. You won't hurt anything. The only reason for the rule is that liquid will flush the food through your sleeve faster and you may feel hungry sooner, thus eat more. I'm 10 months out, maintaining 12 pounds below goal and I don't pay much attention to timing when I eat and drink. I just don't overeat. But it is a good rule to follow while you are losing and/or until you figure out how much to eat and still lose or maintain.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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