Would like to ask about no fluids 30mins pre/post food.

And what the heck is a "diet cordial" anyway?

I am almost 2 months post op and I knew I was going to have trouble with this too, severe dry mouth and some foods just make it worse honestly...even now I still sip some through my meals and I have had no "dumping" problems at all....I stay on the side of Constipation (mainly due to meds) even taking a stool softener 2x a day and Miralax when needed. Is this good of me, maybe maybe not, but I do what I can and have had a good amount of weightloss.....just started hitting a plateau some...just need to get in more excersize (hard with degenerative back problems, but working on it )

I'm 3 weeks out and I find it really hard to get thru a meal without a couple sips. I've not had any dumping and I'm getting in all my Protein.

This has been very challenging for me too. I use down a bottle of Water in less than 30 seconds. Now one week post op thirst is a big issue. I have a new love affair with Popsicles, they are my friend. I do worry that as I transition to a full solid diet that this 30 Minute Rule is going to be my biggest obstacle to conquer.
