I know we can't eat and drink @ the same time but does that include when we're eating our snacks too??

Well what are you eating for snacks? Still a solid item, right? Or are you having soup with no solids? I was simply told no eating and drinking at the same time. It was not defined. Simply no eating and drinking. Maybe someone else has a better answer. Best.

Nope. No eating or drinking at the same time.

No not eating and drinking, snacks are food too

How far out are you? If you're just recently out of surgery, no eating and drinking at the same time, because it more quickly flushes the food through your stomach and you are not full for as long. Also, following the rules initially is a good idea. I tried this briefly, but I can't not have my mouth wet when I'm eating, so I have eaten and drank at the same time since about a month post-op. I am cognizant of the fact that I may not feel full for as long, but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life choking down dry food. I'm 13 months post-op and about 8 pounds from goal. Eating and drinking at the same time won't hurt you, you just might not lose weight as quickly if you don't pay attention to how much you're eating.

I'm 5 months out thanks!

No eating and drinking at the same time. I use the ap Bariatric timer to make sure I've waited sufficient time. It even reminds me to eat if too much time passes.

Like Ava fern said, there is no reason why you can't physically eat and drink at the same time. You won't hurt anything. The only reason for the rule is that liquid will flush the food through your sleeve faster and you may feel hungry sooner, thus eat more. I'm 10 months out, maintaining 12 pounds below goal and I don't pay much attention to timing when I eat and drink. I just don't overeat. But it is a good rule to follow while you are losing and/or until you figure out how much to eat and still lose or maintain.
