Hi, I'm new to this forum. And have a question for my fellow sleevers. I know we are not supposed to mix solids and liquids when we eat. I just was wondering on the timing between. I've read many different things. My food guide says 30 mins before and to wait 60-90 mins after to consume liquids. I have another book that tells me 30mins after. I was wondering what others have been told about this?

Thanks!

Well my nutrionist told me do not eat within 15 minutes of drinking something. If you eat something you must wait 45minutes before drinking something.

The overall results that i have read state: Do not to drink with food, Do not drink 30 min before or after your meal. Basically by drinking you are able to eat more and that contradicts the reason for having surgery done to begin with.

My nut and surgeon say 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after.

30 before 30 after. But normally am too full afterwards to drink for atleast an hour!

My nut and surgeon say 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after.

Yup mine did to

30 before & 30 after

I was told 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after, too.

30 min before and 30 min after I was told.

My surgeon says nothing 30minutes before and 90 minutes after.

Hope that helps

I was given same instructions

30, 30 as well.

Looks like the verdict is in...30/30. Thanks guys!

Thank you to everyone for their responses!

Wait! Wait! Mine said 15 before and 30 after.

My surgeon's nutritionist has a new rule, based on their research. You can drink right up to your meal. Then, after a few spoonfuls, take a sip. They are telling sleevers this, because it has been found that food may get backed up a little and a sip or two will help break it up. Then wait 30 minutes before starting to hydrate again.
