What is the purpose of not drinking 30 minutes before and after a meal? I am really struggling with this. I get so thirsty and just have to have a sip or two of something while I am eating and right after I eat. Is this going to be a major issue? Anybody else struggling with this? Please help!

Re: Fluid issues
My doctor says stop 15 minutes before I eat, nothing while I eat and nothing til an hour after I'm done. It is tough! I've gotten used to the first two parts but the hour after is tough. I try to drink extra before dinner to make it easier and it has helped.

Re: Fluid issues
I feel you they say that is for you stomach not to be overfull and stretch. I think is the one I still struggle the most. I really dont like not drinking when eating more than not ever having soda pop

Re: Fluid issues
Hi Jazzi,
I was told that too. I try to wait 30 min to drink also and there are times it is almost impossible. The logic behind that is so you do not fill your new little tummy up and have no room to get your proteins in. Everyone is different and I can handle a sip here and there during a meal. You will need to test the waters and see what you can handle. Good Luck!!!"I'd rather LIVE my life than EAT it!"

Re: Fluid issues
My nutrition said when you drink with your meals it helps the food to slide right through so you end up eating more. I take small sips, and I make sure I don't eat more than I've put on my small plate. :-) Its annoying really, I'm 6 weeks out and have yet to drink more than 6 glasses of water water a day.

Re: Fluid issues
I wait 15 before and 15 to 30 after. Although I always forget to look at the clock.

Re: Fluid issues
Hey there - a naturopath many years ago advised not to drink with meals. Dilutes the digestive juices a little, helps fastrack foods through your system - so they slide on through rather than digested fully.
I've kind of stuck by it and now chew more thoroughly rather than wash my dinner down.

Re: Fluid issues
Thanks everyone! I will try harder to follow this rule...this is the worst of all things I have experienced so far. I have no struggles in any other area since my surgery! I guess I should be thankful it is the only issue I have really had! Thanks for all the input though and at least I know it is normal for this to be so hard!
