No Drinking While Eating



Recommended Posts

I am 7 days post op and on full liquids which include blended Soups. I know we are not supposed to drink with our meals and for an hour after. But how do you combat the major thirst that comes with food? ??

After a few months you find it's much easier. However, there are those doctors who believe it's OK to drink before, during and after you eat. You might double check with your doctor. Go to youtube and look for Lapband, Dr O'brien and video 3 to see what he has to say about this?

Drinking while eating is one of those issues that is debated like crazy. My doctor agrees with Dr. O (TMF Video).

If you are on a liquid diet you can drink while eating....it's all liquid. lol

I was banded on 12-12-12. My dr said tiny sips with food is fine. But this 3x a day shake is about to kill me. I can barely get n 2. But I'm sipping broths and baby foods. So far so good. Just want the GAS PAINS to stop uhhh

Best thing for gas pains is walking and i hear a heating pad works too. It will pass, I promise!

You get used to it... It the beginning I had to take a tiny sip while eating but I quickly realized it wasn't a good idea and just stopped doing it. If you drink constantly during the day you will find yourself less thirsty when eating....

I find the healthier you eat ie low salt the less thirsty you will be. Just think a lot of those really unhealthy fatty foods that we like tend to be really salty like nacho chips or cheeseburgers, peanuts or potato chips.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
