Does anyone know the reason for not drinking and eating at the same time

I think...It pushes food thru faster and also will fill you up faster - not allowing for enough food to get Protein needed.

it makes the food move through more quickly and you will eat too much.

however, there are supplements I take that need to be taken with food and a sip now and then is ok. sometimes I need a few sips if I am eating something spicy. I am very mindful to just only take what I need and then go back to eating. I want to feel full longer!

I try to drink right up until I am ready to eat and then wait a half hour after eating.

I'm going to say something I've never heard anyone say so I guess I am weird. The only thing I'm not worried about after surgery is the eating and drinking thing. Normally, I actually don't eat and drink at the same time unless it is alcohol or coffee. I drink coffee while eating Breakfast or a dessert. I've been known to go to the movies and eat a whole large tub of popcorn and drink nothing until I am finished and then I only take a few sips. I have always had a problem with feeling full after drinking so I developed a habit at a young age of not drinking so I could eat more. I guess that is one reason why I am fat. I do drink a lot of Water in a day but I drink that outside of my meals.

this is something your surgeon should have gone over with you. Basically drinking while you eat will help push some of the food out of your stomach allowing you to eat more...which defeats the purpose

after a month post op I was taking a few sips during meals.

but....as people who are trying to loose weight, there are a LOT of habits we need to break right? It's just something you need to do if you want good post op results

A person I know who had WLS was advised one sip of Water for every four bites... That seems reasonable to me.

I hate mint so that sounds terrible to me LOL, but I love to add things to my Water to help get it in. In the summer I love to add frozen berries. keeps it cold and infuses it with flavor

That's about what I do. If I don't take a sip I feel like the food gets stuck in my throat. I used to have several of glasses of something while I ate. Not doing that anymore has been one of the hardest parts for me
