Waiting an hour to drink after eating



Recommended Posts

At 3 years I still wait 30 minutes except with wine.

I have never even heard of this. I have always sipped with my meals, simply because it keeps my food from getting stuck! I have never had an issue with it.

It's kind of like traffic, you can follow the posted speed but you really need to drive with the flow of traffic. And those two things can be different. lol! So situational.

I love that analogy!!!

I find that drinking Water while eating is uncomfortable. Feels like swallowing a rock.

I used to LOVE water. Not so much anymore.

My surgeon's guidelines are to wait 30 minutes as well but I'm allowed to drink up until I start eating..I usually do wait 10 minutes or so but I don't wait much longer than that..so far have had no issues...

My group says "70 minute rule"

No drinking 10 minutes before eating

A meal should last 30 minutes...no drinking with the meal

No drinking 30 minutes after the meal.

I'll admit, I'm not always perfect with these rule. But I agree with a previous poster....trying to drink while eating or just after is incredibly uncomfortable. Unless the food was a slurry like oatmeal...it's like trying to swallow a rock.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
