Cindy, I have maybe 3 to 4 small sips of drink whileI eat. As long as I get in all my protein I don't worry too much about three small sips. Susan ... ...
Cindy, I'm not sure why they tell people not to drink liquids with your meals, because everybody I know in the MGB world does. I seem to remember something...

Hi Brian, Glad to hear the great news!! Congratulations!! You have made great success.. I know exactly what you mean about the surgery saving your life, I...
Okay, honesty alert! Using liquids with meals is a form of cheating. It washes through and allows you to eat more than you would without them. My brother had...
For those of you who are lactose intolerant, what do you find is easier to digest - lactose free milk or soy milk? Thanks, Chris Dr Walsh 10/23/07 309/180/?...
I've used the tablets occasionally, but only to replace one or two doses during the day, not as a complete replacement for several days. The liquid is,...
I guess this is a case of everyone's experience being different. I find that when I drink while I'm eating, I can't eat as much as when I don't drink. I...
I'm not much help here, because I hate both. :) Won't drink either. I just don't drink any milk at all during the week and I only drink milk on the weekends...

That's good to know, sometimes the tablets are SO much easier to keep around. :) Thanks! Siobhan in Vermont ... From: Tom Walsh MD...
For me calling it what it is makes sense. It may not be that for you. Perhaps I should not have said you in the email. What I mean is: I CHEAT BY EATING LIKE...
Lately my problem is not over eating, it's not getting enough. Everytime I sit down to eat I take maybe 3 bites and I don't want whatever it is I'm eating. I...
I would think that loss of appetite is something that needs looking into by a medical practitioner. I'd either contact Dr. Walsh directly, or make an...
Thank God?!? Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor. Okay, I'll be serious now. Do you have thrush? Is your tongue white? That can affect the taste of...

Susan, You could try going back to Stage 1 for a while and the crackers and boring soup broths might jump-kick your appetite. Blessings, Kelly Susan Taylor...
