If I understand it correctly, it's drinking a lot of liquid 15 minutes or so before a meal and then you're supposed to get full on less food. But how does that work for us since liquids don't stay in the pouch?

Good question. I don't think I've ever heard of this.

It goes through the pouch and fills up the intestine. I have heard of doctors recommending that over the years. Tri

I would think that this would only work on people who have not had surgery, but maybe I am wrong.

Since we don't have the valve, i can't see how water loading work with us anyways.

My surgeon reccomends water loading if you start to get to get hungry too soon between meals. You drink a lot of water is a short time period and it's supposed to get rid of the hunger feeling but i'm not post op yet so i don't know how well it works on post ops.

How does he explain it working when we have no pyloric valve?

The only way I could see that it may have some effect is that your intestines contract at a set rythem so while yes we don't have a pyloric valve I guess the theory would be that the rythem of our intestines would cause some back-up. I'd still rather eat a healthy well balanced meal than drink a ton of water and then eat an unbalanced meal. If you are eating a well balanced meal what would be the need to do this?

I eat a decent meal, with a good amount of protein, but I have been getting hungry sooner lately than I used to. Something like six ounces of Greek yogurt with half a banana sliced on it used to keep me feeling full for three hours. Now, I'm getting hungry closer to two hours after a meal. I'm looking for ways to feel full longer, or else eat less per meal so I can eat more often.

I honestly wouldn't and don't know how it would work but i'm willing to do whatever my surgeon says to ensure that this surgery is a success including making the necessary lifestyle changes to make sure i don't regain any weight lost. Different doctors do different things and whatever mine chooses for me well thats what i'll do.
