Drinking before, during and after meals is a subject that is constantly debated. Every doctor is different and so you will get all kind if answers. Your best bet is ask your doctor.

My doctor allows drinking with meal, just wait 1 minute after bit. That being said I am more comfortable not drinking with my meal. I drink before and I drink after.

This works for me but as suggested check with your doctor. Best wishes.

I drink right up until I eat and I've never had a problem. Your mileage may vary.

I drink up to about 10-15 minutes before eating but wait the 30 minutes after. But ask your doctor because every doctor has their own thoughts.

I agree with Dylan!

I drink right up to my meal but I don't drink during and I try to wait a while after. I try not to drink anything real cold before I eat because it seems to make me tighter

My surgeon said nothing to drink 15 minutes before and 30-45 minutes after. Hope this helps.
