Drinking before & after eating ?

[Karen19745]

I was told to wait half an hour after I have eaten before I have a drink, but they didn't say stop drinking a certain length of time before you eat. Are you supposed to, I'm a bit confused?

Karen i cant drink and eat at the same time like i use to, i was told to wait half a hour both sides, hope that helps x

I've been told 15 mins before and 30 mins after. It's quite hard to get everything in isn't it? So I've made one of my 'meals' a mug of milky coffee to help up my liquid intake.

It's no drinking 30 minutes either side of food x

i think i was told it was ok to drink up to eating and then not to drink for half an hour afterwards.

just shows that every surgeon is different

I was told the same as Andrea73 xxx

The half-hour either side of food was the same for me. Obviously if you are filling up with drink, that is taking up the room where the food should be! As long as you are covered nutrition wise and do not start to stretch the stomach pouch, finding a balance works best for me x

I was told no drink half an hour before and for one hour after x
