So, with the long, long stall going on with me here, I'm back to reading this rules for dummies post.
I would love to hear from some of those that have actually put these rules into action. Has anyone used the water-loading 15 minutes before eating (which is totally counter to the rules I was given) and the No drinking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours after eating (!!!)
I'm getting in the range of 150 oz of fluids- min of half is just plain ol' water (with lemon).. the other half is decaf tea, crystal light and decaf coffee but I normally stop drinking 1/2 hour before eating and only go 1/2 hour after eating before I start drinking again.
I do tend to eat in the 5-15 minute time frame so that isn't an issue for me so much. Protein is usually in the 80 to 90 grams a day. Weight loss is 10 lbs since Oct, so clearly I'm not doing *something* right, though I'm not sure what, exactly.

Very good information. I've printed it and will save as a reference. However, the rules stated here are not in sync with my own doctor's advice. I guess every surgeon has their own views...but generally this is fantastic info!
Thanks!

why does the human race feel the need to squeeze every dangly thing the encounter?

well... I've lost another 10 lbs since I made this post. No one seemed to have a comment on my questions back then, anyone now?

Like I said.. some of the stuff makes sense... but I still think its important to follow your own surgeons guidelines...

I never lost all the weight I wanted to. Depression,stress, lack of exercise, slider foods, and no aftercare from my Dr. I regained 20 lbs and finally decided to do the 5DPT, lost 6 lbs, got in touch with my pouch, stopped the carb monster, and now after several weeks I am 10 lbs down. I am feeling encouraged and absolutely found the faster you eat the less you eat and the fuller you get quicker. It works and I am so happy to have found it. Thanks to all.
