Drinking and eating at same time video



Recommended Posts

My Doc also very persistent about not drinking until +1 hours after eating. No real worries about drinking before meals, in fact he tells me that may help not eating so much.

The reasons not to drink, which summarize what is being said here:

1) Drinking flushes food thru the pipe (stomach to digestive tract) depicted by the YouTube Video

2) Flushing the food will reduce the amount of time food is in digestive tract, which is important for absorption of nutrients

3) Adding liquids on top of food will create discomfort and it may all come back up

I don't drink with big meals at all anymore-it's waaay too uncomfortable & too full. I can eat all foods now-I've ate steak etc.. I've still never thrown up & hopefully I won't.

I am 10 months out and I still don't drink when eating. If I know I am going to eat something, I will stop drinking 20 or 30 minutes before. Drinking will fill me up too fast. Since I don't eat enough, I need all of the calories and nutrients I can get.

Good visual! Thanks for sharing! I am only a month out and although I stop drinking before meals & wait after, it has been my single biggest challenge since surgery. I have always drank with meals so it is very unnatural for me. I struggle to get all my fluids in so I'm a little impatient lol! I want to get back to sipping as soon as possible. Good reminder.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
