I believe the pause after drinking to begin eating is the same as described but in reverse. You don't want a bunch of liquid in your stomach and then start adding food...which creates the same Soup discussed in the article.
I was advised no drinking 30 minutes before and after but my NUT told me that 10 minutes before is ok... As I understood it the pause was to let the Water move through the stomach before adding the food

The day after my surgery I did a swallow test. I watched the liquid go straight through very quickly. There is no need to wait 30 min before. I always wait 30 min after I eat.

I was told not to drink for 30 mins after I eat -- this is the first I've heard what ur talking about -- did u google it to see

My team says not to drink for 30 minutes before or after. They say if you drink before, it could fill up the pouch. They couldn't tell me how fast Water empties from the pouch. 10-15 minutes would be so much easier before a meal to stop. I totally understand the 30 minutes after.

The Water goes straight through though, it doesn't stay.

Did you do the leak test after surgery? If so, it shows clearly that liquid goes straight through. We are not talking about drinking 10 oz right before you eat, but maybe an oz or two 10-15 min before.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
