Quickly 45 Posted January 7, 2013 I know you can not drink 30 minutes before and after a meal. How do you pace this say... at a resturaunt and you want to join in on a glass of wine?? Just wondering?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyllfalcon 768 Posted January 7, 2013 I'm probably gonna get beaten up for saying this, but I don't follow those rules. I had to at first because there simply wasn't room for liquids AND food, but now that I'm almost 10 months out and at goal, I don't even think about it anymore. I never did drink with meals, maybe just a sip of Water here and there at most. I still don't. But I pay no attention at all to when I drink fluids in relation to when I eat. Having said that, newly sleeved folks really should abide by the rules. 1 Quickly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted January 7, 2013 I am 17 weeks, not a long timer but I don't drink after and during a meal. This means no wine with dinner. I do drink before I eat and have no problems with that(I find that all fluids run right through my stomach). 1 Quickly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyc 89 Posted January 7, 2013 I have my wine or drink before my meal. Early out I would stick to nothing 30 minutes before, but now have no problems drinking right up to eating. I would suggest not drinking more than a sip or two while eating or right after. This still hurts my stomach and could flush out the food faster. 1 Quickly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickly 45 Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks... I often, in the past, liked to go out dinner and afterwards chat with friends over a good glass of wine. I have my surgery tomorrow and I was thinking about that. Super duper excited and ready. Been on 2 week clear liquid 3x a day Protein Drink. Today is my last day before surgery and I know that I will be on liquids for another 5 weeks. So, I am looking forward to a nice dinner and a cup of wine... Lol Thanks for your input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatherr 149 Posted January 7, 2013 I don't order a beverage unless I'm really thirsty, and tehn i try to drink it before my meal comes. If I want wine, I order it, but I really only can sip it if there is food in my stomach because I get full too fast or I won't be able to eat as much. Last time we went out, I wanted a glass of wine, so I got an appetizer for my food. It's usually a shrimp cocktail, mussels/clams or a crab cake. 1 Quickly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
