notime 340 Posted June 23, 2012 I think I understand the reason for not drinking after meals, but why no fluids for 30 minutes before meals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted June 23, 2012 So you don't fill up on water/fluids and not be able to eat your food. Water does slide through, but you don't want to have a sleeve full of water when that first bite hits. It can make you very uncomfortable and even cause you to vomit. 1 Pookeyism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
