No fluids for 1hr. before and after meals?

[saltlick 0]

:help: Is anyone having any problems NOT drinking fluids before, during and after meals? My Dr. says NO fluids 1 hour before, No during and None for 1 hour after meals. That is killing me. I have slowed way down, but just can't stop it completely. Anyone else having this problem? I'm also having problems NOT getting the FULL Feeling. Could the drink be my problem?:help: HELP!!

My doctor is telling me no fluids 10 minutes before, nothing during, and nothing for 30 minutes after...

I don't drink a lot of liquid before and after meals, but I do drink some. I am supposed to drink 64 ounces a day and I couldn't possibly get that much in without drinking some at meals. Fortunately, I still get a full feeling.

Well,

I'll admit it, I drank with my meals the first 6 months. Not all the time just some but let me tell you when you have really good restriction like I have now, there is noooooooo way you even can. I mean not even a sip. I was eating steak faquitas without the shell tonight and they were spicy and I thought I have just got to have a sip but I knew better. I guess that's how I knew I finally was at my sweet spot.

Whoa, 1 hour before is way longer than I've ever heard. My doc also said 10 minutes before and 1 hour after and that's pretty easy to adhere to. Actually, I often end up Water loading before meals and eating 5 minutes after. It could be counter-productive, who the heck knows.

I guess everyone has different orders...I can't drink 30 minutes before the meal and 1 hour after a meal...this works fine for me...

I was told One hour before and One hour after. It was to keep the food from exiting the pouch to quickly, which in turn would let you get hunrgy faster. I am having trouble with it, seem like that takes six hours out of your day to get all the fluids in. Still have troulbe getting enought liquids. 64 ozs is a lot of fluids.

You Look WONDERFUL!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Everyone I know that has been banded all by different doctors can drink up until their meal but not until an hour afterwards.

My doc said he actually wants me to drink at least 8 ozs of a non-caloric drink (water, tea, crystal light) when I sit down to eat, but before I begin eating. Once I pick up my fork, I'm not to drink anything until 30 minutes after my last bite of food.< /p>

Same here, I can drink right up until meal time, but nothing during, and nothing after for 30 minutes.

It's the "nothing after" part that's really killing me. I have to set a timer sometimes lol....

So I guess it just depends on the doctor.
