Hello! In the process of getting the lap band currently and have been snooping around for information. I noticed that most everyone says no drinks while eating (because it allows you to eat more). What is the protocol for drinking before you eat? does it make you eat less, the same, or more? Does having a drink after you eat just make you hungry again?

I have always been a big drink person during all of my meals. curious as to having drinks before or after meals and how it effects you!

Thanks for your answers!!

Have a great day!

Where was the drinking bit in this, did I miss something.

It's there, you didn't see it?

No I missed it, will have to rewatch

My surgeon and nutritionist recommend drinking up till the time of solid food, no liquids while eating, then wait 30 minutes after finishing eating to drink again.

Weird. The video now is about drinking. The first time I clicked on it i got the 1 about eating slowly!

I edited it to the correct video. You're not drunk or anything

Phew. If I was drunk at that time of the morning then I would really have a problem!

Thank you everyone for responding with such an intent to educate, it is so helpful to have a large group of people who don't judge for over asked questions or questions that may seem unnecessary to some!

I learned so much and i hope everyone else was equally enlightened!

Thank you!!!!
