We need time for the nutrients in the small amount of food we are eating to have the ability to be absorbed to the fullest. Adding liquids flushes it through our system quickly.

Ask. Your. Surgeon.

I would if I could..

You only have so much room in your stomach after surgery. It's important to give yourself time to absorb the nutrients you need from the food, and drinking water close to eating can flush out some of the nutrients - as @tamihunt said.

Are you post op? Can I ask why you have no contact with your surgeon or their office?

Not drinking while your eating takes a bit of practice. It becomes habit.

Wow,

I am so sorry this was your experience. I'm sure there is someone here that would be willing to send you their surgery instructions and diet progression. What type of surgery did you have?

I had the sleeve..

Would you be open to starting a thread asking for sleeve surgery instructions?

Yes I would

Yes I would

I hope your feeling well. Glad you found this site.

I actually feel great! Just a couple questions here and there.. how are you?

I'm doing great. I had surgery years ago. Ask away it's what we are here for.
