Drinking While Eating!



Recommended Posts

So is it hard for anyone else to not drink while eating?! I know that it's forbidden but i take at least two tiny sips of Water throughout my whole meal :( I'm having such a hard time!

Sips are ok

I sip too. It gets easier. At first, I took several sips all the way through dinner. Within a few weeks, I rarely even noticed that I don't have a drink.

I've come to find that if I can't swallow what I have, typically I'm trying to swallow too much.

This has been the hardest thing for me. I tend to sip throughout my meals. I know it is bad and I shouldn't do it, but I can't help it.

I have always taken a few sips with my meals. It's such a habit. :)

I haven't sipped yet but it is sooooo hard not too drink while eating. I guess it is just a habit with me. Now I make sure I do not have drink anywhere around:)

It was easy for me because my Parent's didn't allow us to have a drink until after we have finished our meal. This came about because we would fill up on the beverage and not have room for the nutritional stuff. I guess it's kind of the same reasoning here. We would fill our sleeves with a drink and have less room for the important Protein. Keep trying. Like someone else said, don't even bring a drink near the table.

I struggle with this, but I find it's a little easier if I just do not keep any drink around me while I'm eating. I also asked a questions about tips on this and everyone had really good advice. I've tried making sure I'm drinking quite a bit before a meal, which helps too. There are still times when I am sitting around cursing the 30 minutes I have to wait, but I set the timer on my phone and try and distract myself doing other things. I am hoping in a few months it will be more of a habit and won't continue to frustrate me.

I'm going through that now . I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm struggling not to drink with my meals. I take little sips in between it's hasn't bothered me and hopefully it won't. I try to follow 30/30 rule as much as I can!!!

      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.
