Ginny Baca is a 46-year-old nurse who recently had gastric bypass surgery. She is 65 inches tall and weighed 302 pounds prior to surgery. She has lost 15 pounds in the month following her surgery and has advanced her post-surgery diet from clear liquids to solid foods. At her post-surgery visit, she is excited about her weight loss but also worried that she is not able to drink fluids like she used to. She has had two episodes of dumping after drinking soda with meals. She reports feeling bloated at times, even when she eats very small amounts of food.

1) Referring to “How to Alter the Diet to Reduce Symptoms of Dumping Syndrome” (p. 698), how would you address Ginny’s questions regarding her intake of fluids?
