Question..
A lot of them have bigger tummies than us though.
"I think Mac says she does it when she wants to eat more? MAybe she means she drinks sooner than otherwise? "
Both. When I need to eat more, I will carefully sip a bit to help wash down certain foods. It doesn't work too well with things like bread which puff up when you add water. But it works okay with hard protein. But I can't just eat everything, fill up the pouch, then pour water on top. THAT is a surefire path to the foamies.
Mainly I do this when I am doing really long bike rides and really long swims and runs all in the same weekend. I'm not there yet at this time of year. I'm only running about 30 minutes and not doing much open water swimming at all (too cold). I am biking a lot but I can get the calories in for biking with just eating the right foods.

Do you know this from experience, or is it an educated guess? LOL
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." - Ramona L. Anderson
I've tried it when I've been out to dinner for example or at a party. What happens to me is that I get full right away! Last week, we went to Alehouse, and I had 2 margaritas over 3 hours, but I was only able to eat 3 wing sections. And then, I will be hungry sooner- maybe because of the drinking washing the food away?? or because the fluids filled me so much that I didn't take in enough food?? Either way, as a rule of thumb, I don't do it, but it's not like written in stone either.
