Why is it bad to eat and drink at the same time?

I just had my third pre-surgery nutrition class today so this is all fresh in my mind. We were told that drinking with a meal liquifies the food in your stomach and it will slide through more easily, causing you to eat more. Without a drink, the food will fill up your stomach and stay there making you feel full. You will eat less this way and therefore lose more weight.

From what I understand, by not drinking and eating at the same time, the food stays in our new little tummies longer, we feel full longer and it seems like I've heard or read that the longer it's there the more nutrition we get from the food...but don't quote me on that. I DO know that now that I'm at goal and am letting myself have a few bites of pumpkin bread at Star Bucks or something...where it doesn't matter about feeling full....I dared to take a sip of coffee with it, and it does not feel good, it is a little uncomfortable. So, that is not good! I hope this helps!

Because it makes you feel terrible. I stay full for the same amount of time but I just feel horrible.
