April Nutritional Tip of the Month

Why is it important to separate liquids from solids?

1. You do not want to over expend the pouch.
2. You do not want to rapidly wash the food out of the pouch.

Liquids will pass through the upper stomach pouch quickly and will not make you feel full. Drinking liquids during or immediately after meals tends to flush food through the pouch, and you will not get the prolonged feeling of satiety needed to help you eat less.
