I have to admit I am HUGE fan of water, ice tea, crystal light....etc...you name it I drink ALL day long. This is especially evident when I eat. Why can't we eat and drink at the same time? I was told over and over ago no, but not the "why" part. I have been banded for three weeks and now with the mushies part I still am sneaking in something to drink when I eat, not near as much as I used to. Anyone know why? :drool:

My nut. said no drinking 15 minutes before or after eating. Less than most, but it's been working for me. I actually feel more satisfied once I start drinking- go figure.

lol my doc told me no drinking 30 min before a meal and not to drink again til 1 hour after. So crazy how every place is so different! :smile2:
