Hello, new to this site but not to lapband

I just wanted to say hello. My nutritionist recomended this site for support. My trouble spots are sweets and getting enough Water in my day. Any suggestions for these issues? FYI, I work in a lab setting where food and drink is prohibited.

Thanks,:redface:

Welcome to LBT! Have you tried to drink crystal light, to get more Water in. Also can you take any breaks, like instead of cigarette breaks you take a quick water break and go outside? Also as far as sweets have you tried sugar free Jello, pudding, popsicles, and fudgeicles(Spelling?). These are just a few ideas. Good luck to you!

I've started chugging Water in the morning. I drink about 24 ounces in the morning with my medication before I go to work. I try to keep water in sight at all times (I know this isn't possible for you, but maybe it will give you some kind of idea). I'm sitting in my home office right now and can see my bottle out of the corner of my eye. If I go into another room, I grab the bottle and take it with me. I do the same at work. If I go to someone else's office, I take my water.

I know people who have set times every day when they drink a specific amount. They set an alarm and then go drink a small tumbler of water. My mom drinks a small glass every time she walks by the kitchen.

I know that drinking a lot at once isn't always possible for those with good restriction, so I don't know how well any of these ideas will work for you. Right now, I can gulp water because I have no restriction at all. I don't know what my solution will be when I'm filled.
