I'm almost four weeks post op and finding it difficult to not drink while I eat. When I eat, no matter how slow, I get hiccups!!! Any tips on how not to drink 30 minutes before and after a meal?

I have the same problem minus the hiccups. I love to drink and eat at the same time. The moment i'm done eating I set a 30 minute timer.

I actually put something (a napkin, notebook, whatever) over my drink so that I don't accidentally grab it out of habit. Then, I set the timer on my phone. I don't like it, but I do it.

I'll try the timer. Its going to take some adjusting. Do you know if this is how it will be long term or is it only in the beginning?

My understanding is that this is forever. Otherwise foods wash out of your stomach quickly, allowing you to overeat and not feel full.
