Eating a lot of sugar and carbs used to make me thirsty in the bad ole days.  I wonder if cutting those out has cut your thirst?

I tend to eat more highly-flavored foods these days, which make me thirsty after meals.  Sometimes it's hard to wait the hour or 90 minutes before resuming drinking.  For example tonite I had seared ahi tuna and mango salsa.  I salted the tuna, but then crusted it with pepper before searing it.  MMMMM!
You wait an hour...or more?   I  only wait 30-40 min......am I a "bad" boy?

I don't wait that long b/c I'm a "good little VSG patient" - LOL - but b/c I have to.  Otherwise I get foamy burps.  Not fun, so waiting is just easier, and I'm actually able to drink more that way.

Ha Jimbo, I suspect you are a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad boy regardless of how long you wait after meals to drink.        Diane

OMG Yessss!!!

I have realized lately that I can drink ONE glass of crystal light all day long, but I constantly feel like I need food in my mouth. My mouth will be dry, my pee DARK yellow, but still I think "food" instead of "water." I've realized that I've been using food in place of liquids. I really thought it was just me!!
