Question about drinking before and after

[Elode 8,093]

Hello all! I am a little confused at this point on waiting to drink 30 before and after I eat. I know I have to do that but I'm only 6 days out and I'm still on full liquids. All I've tried is cream chicken Soup thinned and I mix 2 tablespoons of Fage 2% yogurt with 1 tablespoon of chobani banana yogurt and I table spoon of unflavored Protein Powder from GNC for extra Protein. I can have more things but I'm taking it slow. I don't have any trouble eating those things but I just realized I wasn't waiting the 30 mins. I started today but are we suppose to do that with our full liquids? Thank you and I hope everyone is going fabulous!

My doctor allows us to drink right up until we start eating and then wait one hour afterwards. During full liquids I did not follow that rule. Once I started the puréed diet I did.

@@honeybunz Ok thank you the full liquid part is just confusing me. I went ahead and waited today 30 mins before and then 30 mins after. It wasn't hard I just didn't know if it was nessasary at this early stage. Thank you for answering

Agree with honeybunz that when you are still on liquids, it really woulnd't matter if you are sipping all day. What I would suggest is that you drink caloric liquids like your Protein shakes as your meals, and then sip on non-caloric beverages for the rest of the day. That could include Water, Crystal light, or anything sugar free like Ocean Spray's Cran-grape at 5 calories in one cup.
