This is by far the hardest part for me. I have always been a huge Water drinker and would always drink a glass of Water before a meal so I wouldn't eat too much. It's very difficult for me to not drink before and while eating. I'm trying though.

If we think of this as retraining our stomach, I guess we should ask ourselves how do we want to deal with drinking with eating for the rest of our lives... I'm just sayin, I know those of you who strictly adhere to the rules are going to yell at me lol..

probably not a good idea to drink 8 oz while you eat. Follow your doctor's instructions

I would be in so much pain if I drink while eating. It makes it way too easy to over fill the stomach to the point of pain.

the few times I have had something to drink too close after eating have been horrible.

Here is a pretty good explanation of why we should not eat and drink at the same time (or at least it makes sense to me!)

One time I drank 8 oz of Fluid just minutes before eating. I had just gotten in from a long day of errands and was both really hungry and really thirsty. Tossed food in the microwave and poured me one dixie cup, then another. I did it without thinking really. And that was the one and only time I vomited my dinner. Lesson learned.

It's a tough one to get used to and still seems weird not to have a glass of something next to my dinner plate. But It really is extremely difficult to do both at the same time. It hurts for one thing, and then there's the puking....

:)

I will say that if I am eating something incredibly dry, i might take a *tiny* sip of something just to add moisture. That's very rare occurrence however. I try to avoid dry or tough foods. Also suggest going light on the salt to help keep thirst at bay.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
