Question about drinking before and after



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am a little confused at this point on waiting to drink 30 before and after I eat. I know I have to do that but I'm only 6 days out and I'm still on full liquids. All I've tried is cream chicken Soup thinned and I mix 2 tablespoons of Fage 2% yogurt with 1 tablespoon of chobani banana yogurt and I table spoon of unflavored Protein Powder from GNC for extra Protein. I can have more things but I'm taking it slow. I don't have any trouble eating those things but I just realized I wasn't waiting the 30 mins. I started today but are we suppose to do that with our full liquids? Thank you and I hope everyone is going fabulous!

My doctor allows us to drink right up until we start eating and then wait one hour afterwards. During full liquids I did not follow that rule. Once I started the puréed diet I did.

@@honeybunz Ok thank you the full liquid part is just confusing me. I went ahead and waited today 30 mins before and then 30 mins after. It wasn't hard I just didn't know if it was nessasary at this early stage. Thank you for answering

Agree with honeybunz that when you are still on liquids, it really woulnd't matter if you are sipping all day. What I would suggest is that you drink caloric liquids like your Protein shakes as your meals, and then sip on non-caloric beverages for the rest of the day. That could include Water, Crystal light, or anything sugar free like Ocean Spray's Cran-grape at 5 calories in one cup.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
