No Drinking With Eating..explain Why?

[ladiJ 83]

is it because you fill up on liquids and will not get your Protein in?

or

liquid makes the food go down easier and you will eat too much?

Drinking while eating will empty out the stomach too fast, resulting in over eating; and some people experience acid reflux because of drinking with their food.< /p>

I believe it to be both that you listed.....

I know that at first I tried to eat and drink at the same time, because I was addicted to it....It would cause the slims for me...horrible, and it hurt too. so I stopped for a long time. now I am able to drink a little bit with my meals, but only a sip or two.....it doesnt make me hungry faster at all.....but I definatly cant fit as much food in when I do sip on Water. I dont ever drink anything but water with a meal or it makes me want to hurl....sorry so graffic, but the truth.

I agree with made2beme, the reasons she listed were what my Dr told me , was the reason he preferred me not to drink while eating. Thirty min before or after.

My Nut told me the same thing that it washes the food out & he also recommended waiting 30 minutes to an hour before drinking. Usually I drink Water 30 minutes or less, since I will be four weeks out in two days.

ah thank you, I tried not to drink tonight with dinner, i think that will be a challenging rule for me so am trying to get used to it now

everything listed here is true. You don't drink before a meal so that you have room for your Protein and you don't drink after your meal so that your body has a chance to absorb the nutrients it needs.

This has been a hard one for me. I usually only drink Water around meal time especially when eating out because it would be a waste of money to order anything else. I try to wait at least 15 mins.

I find that this has been the most difficult thing to overcome. I tried not drinking pre-op to condition myself for what was to come, however it is much diifferent post-op as I feel like food goes down so slow and my first reaction is to grab liquid. Ahhh I guess this is the price to pay.
