I have not seen the NUT yet to know this. Why can you not drink while eating

It has been answered a bunch of times and I'm sure you can search for it, but here is the short version.

1. It washes the food out of your stomach faster and you will get hungry again sooner, and take in more calories.

2. With your smaller stomach partially full of Water, you won't be able to fit in enough Protein and nutrients during your meal, which will set you up for nutrition deficiencies and make you feel hungrier again sooner.

It will give your body a chance to absorb the Proteins and nutrients so it don't get washed away.... That's basically what I was told

This is such a controversial topic. Some surgeons believe it makes no difference at all, while others think it washes the food through the sleeve or causes fullness too quickly. I honestly think in the realm of VSG, this particular subject requires a lot more research before we get a definitive answer.

It makes me nauseous. If I drink too soon after eating I feel very sick to my stomach. Gagging and whatnot.

This is the first I've heard this! Have you read or heard anywhere about it being ok? This is the one thing I thought all doctors pretty much agreed on.

I agree...of all the controversial topics, this seemed to be one of the few that had little dissension (basically how soon BEFORE eating you were supposed to stop)

Yes it would be nice to at least keep the drinking during meal thing a consistent no...

You know that reminds me of my auntie. She has always been very skinny and very concerned about her and her children's weight she doesn't like fat people much..(the boys always looked under weight to me :()

But as her children were growing up she had a rule at the dinner table NO drinking with meals.

Makes me wonder..

I was told by my nutritionist that drinking while eating will stretch your stomach that's why it's forbidden

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
