Thanks to all *****plyed to I'm Hungry
Again thanks for replying, The gastric by passfamily.com/pouchrules site is very helpful Thanks! I guess I thought this was the majic pill we all look for. Now I know it is a tool for me to use. My Dr. didn't explain about the 6 month and the pouch and water etc. At least I didn't remember. That explaines why people gain there weigh back. So it is really important we change the foods we eat. Mostly thus far I've just been eating what I can not worring about carbs or fats just sugars. Now that I can eat more of a varity (doen't look right) I will do the pouch rules and watch it more as I can eat so much more. I think we all should stay aware of the fact that we overate and became obese for a reason other than loving food. If we loved it enough to alter our body as much as we did from being what God intended then we obvoiusly had (have) other issues we need to address. So unless and until I realize just what they are I'd better be very aware of my pouch rules so as not to mess up this operation. As I am fighting to be able to walk. Is anyone having problems with diarrhea. To the point of losing control no matter where you are. Imodium helps but causes massive horrible smelling gas. Also the last few days people are being honest with some depression symptons and I appreciate that as I also am attacked by depression and it has been a constant battle in my life fat or in the few days that I reached a normal weight before I was off and gaining again. Love to all, Cil
Sara,
I think that she is talking about the no drinking 30 minute before and after rule. You can gain your weight back if you drink with your meals. It washes the food through and you end up eating more. Also--you can star****er loading at the 6 month mark and not have to worry about stretching out your pouch.
Water-loading is when you gulp water between meals to stimulate the ghrelin hormone that makes you feel full.

Check out the web site http://www.gastricbypassfamilly.com/PouchRules.html. Thats the web site someone suggested I check out in regards to my hunger. My Dr. did not tell me this either, although my 6 month check up is March 5th (he made it 7 months incase of bad weather). Maybe he will then. It makes sence to me and I'm trying it. I have to do something. Although I think the water will make the diahhera worse. Got to go Grandbaby is crying. Talk to you all later. Cil
