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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
