Not Drinking When Eating



Recommended Posts

Is the hardest part for me!!! I'm sooo thirsty and its really hard for me not to do. I know I can try to make sure there's nothing around me at meals but what are other tips? Help please?

Have a drink before you eat, then you shouldn't be thirsty.

I was always a big drinker at meals, so I just make sure that I drink alot through out the day and when it comes to meals I am not thirsty then. Also make sure what you are eating isn't dry and that will help. My surgeons rules are 15 minutes before you eat and no drinking for an hour after.

I am having the same issue and am still on full liquids so am worried about when I start eating real food. I have to drink a lot extra anyway because of a medical condition. So it is a struggle. I guess we will get used to it but I am so ingrained with drinking with meals.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
