    Try and keep its small - but often if you still feel hungry.  Not sure with the bypass as I have the band but I know they said not to drink for 2 mins after meal as that will wash the food away too quickly. if its a milky hot chocolate i would think that wont be too bad as at least your getting milk into your system which is a good source of calcium. remember to sip and not take large gulps x
