How much is too much?? He just drank 12 oz in 15 min without thinking about it. We are sitting at the ballfield and I feel like it's too much. He said he doesn't hurt or anything! Is it too much?

If he can drink, let him drink. Is only important he doesn't drink 30min before and after eating.

Phew! Scared me. Huge relief. Thank you!

The info I just got from my surgeon's office is to stop drinking 5 minutes before, 30 minutes after eating. Why 30 minutes before eating? Any info on this? I understand the 30 after though.

Dr felix also said 30 min before and after. Said it makes the food mushy in the stomach and makes it pass on through.

Every surgeon is different. Mine also only restricts water 5 minutes before eating and 30 minutes afterward. I'm so glad too! It makes getting water in a bit easier.
