One hour, sometimes that seems like forever !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clynn Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Most importantly, if you drink too soon after eating, it will put pressure on the stomach and could cause you to pb. Secondly, it will cause the foods to move through the bands quicker and thus negate the purpose of the band. It sounds much more difficult than it actually is, you just need to develop the right personal habits. When your stomach is empty, liquids will move past the band quite quickly. Be sure to drink before eating so you don't get desperately thirsty right after. Also try to avoid things which would cause you to be thirsty such as spicy or salty foods. You will learn pretty quickly what works for you while obeying the 1 hour rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
