One of the members in the July sleevers FB group posted this awesome video about why WLS patients shouldn't drink while eating or right afterwards.

I haven't seen anyone post this video yet, so I'm posting it here!

This is the first time I could actually see why there's no drinking while eating. Great video.

The above link seems to have no sound, so you can copy/paste this one:

Or youtube formerfatdudes, and his video is called: WLS - no drinking with meals!

Very helpful! Thank you for posting this. I wondered why you can't drink during or after. #TheMoreYouKnow #KnowingIsHalfTheBattle

The visual aid was really powerful. It really nailed down things down for me.

Thank you for this video. I was told the funnel analogy, but actually seeing it and what happens when water/fluid is added, really helped.

Plus the reason given of being hungry soon after, really makes sense.

I have not broken the 30 mins rule, and I will not break it in the future.
