Hey there, Lisa! Not drinking DOES take some getting used to! Recently, I've had just a sip to rinse my mouth out after eating. Not a big swallow, mind you, just a sip. Nothing bad has happened. I'm not planning on drinking within 30 minutes either side of a meal, for sure, but I don't think a sip after eating will over fill the pouch or cause the meal to slide right on through too quickly.

That's only MY personal take on the subject! :)

You doing well?

Not drinking does take time to get used to. I'm glad your ok with eating eggs, (good protein) but I hear many people have problems with eggs.

The not drinking after eating has been the hardest part for me so far. I set a timer so I can take my mind off of it then when it rings I go oh yeah.

oh please think of me when you eat eggs I miss them so much I have no problem with living vicarously though others lol

I got used to the no drinking thing 30-30-30 before surgery but now this new doc wants it to be 30-30-60 the 60min after is proving more difficult for me

60 minutes??? I would die ! Sorry Chocolate, I had to add that to your all your replys. I would not do well if I had to wait 60 minute after eating.
I love eggs too. With fat free shredded cheese is really good, some chopped up onions and sometimes some salsa. OH YEAH ! Scramble me some eggs !!!! :)

Does anybody have some good recipes I can do with eggs or other breakfast ideas? I'm on my 6th week

Love scrambled eggs! I've been adding a tablespoon or so of non-fat plain greek yogurt to my scrambled eggs (mixed in before cooking) for extra protein and flavor. I eat an egg everyday, and the flavor is so much better with the yogurt added. Sometimes I'll sautee some spinach first, then add the eggs and top with low-fat cheddar. I'll have to try adding crabmeat.

I am 11 weeks with the sleeve and still cant do eggs. I can do egg beaters but not eggs. Boo!

My favorite is scarmbled eggs with light Meunster or Provolone cheese, spinach and sauteed fresh mushrooms. And when theya re done I sprinkle on some chopped green onion. Yum! Used to do this is an omelet but scrambeld is faster ;D

i can't drink 15 minutes before during meal or for an hour after eating. I have learned that if i don't put anything on the table to drink i do well and i always look at the clock when i am done eating and then one hour later i get some water going.

Sounds like your doing good Lisa, keep up the great work.

Not eating and drinking is difficult. The first time I went to a restaurant, the first thing I did was take a sip -- out of a straw no less - right before eating. Now I make it a point to say no drink, including water. Sometimes I ask for a to go cup at the end of the meal, when we are leaving, if it will be awhile before I get a chance to drink.

I had my first egg this morning as well! I was so happy that I kept it down...Ive read that many do not tolerate.
