An Hour Between Fluid And Meals?

My nut's orders and its killing me. It has no time line to decrease to 30 min either. Is this the norm? Im almost 4 weeks post op!

My Dr. says 15-20 min's which is a big difference. It seems like the recommendations are all over the board out there.

My recommendation is 30 minutes before and after. Reality is that I try to wait 10-15 minutes after drinking before I start to eat, then I have to wait 30 minutes or more after I eat before I can comfortably drink. If I try to drink before the 30 minutes is up, I feel uncomfortably full.

I was told not to drink 15 minutes before and can't drink until 30 minutes after.

I was told 15 before and an hour after. Yikes!! =T

I try to stick to 20-30min if less than that whatever I ate makes a u turn... If I wait an hour I'll never eat or drink enough... I'm still struggling trying to break 500 cal at 5 weeks out.

Thank you all. I could not see myself ever being able to get to less than 2 Protein Drinks a day due to this problem. I'll start decreasing time frame by 10 min until i find my happy place, hopefully around 30 min.

I was told 15 before and20 after,I do try and stick to the after part,and like someone else said its really hard to get your Protein and Fluid intake in, when you have thise kjnd of restrictions
