Can some explain to me why is it wrong to drink Water during eating? Y do I have to wait 30 minutes?

Because it will flish the food out of your stomach to gast and you will overeat I assume

It will take up space you need for food. I wait 15 mins. It's been okay for me. ❤️

Don't drink when eating.

Wow thank you so much!

According to my NUT this only applies to bypass. For me, I can drink right up until the time I eat. I try to eat pretty slowly anyway so even if I take a sip or two while eating it doesn't interfere with my being able to have room for my food.

Didn't your doc explain this to you? It's one of the main things that bariatric patients should know

I'm not a nutritionist, but it seems a bit off base to say this doesn't apply to the sleeve, when nearly every other nutritionist and surgeon other than yours says that it does.

It's not about whether you can do it, and not have problems, but about whether you SHOULD do it. I also don't think it's necessarily about having room for your food. I think the video that was posted is right on. Water flushes food out of your stomach faster, so you get hungry again sooner. That's why lots of surgeons say it's ok to drink right up until you eat, but not after.

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie, only one week post-op.

The difference is that with the sleeve we still have our pyloric valve. Fluid doesn't wash food out of our stomach like with the pouch. With the sleeve, the functioning of the stomach doesn't change as it does with bypass.

If you are instructed not to drink then by all means don't do it. I was told by my team that these rules don't apply.

[ttdish 315]

That makes sense, but even still, when the valve opens, well chewed/puréed food that is more watered down would pass through more quickly/easily. So I'll concede that the impact would be less significant with the sleeve, though more so in the early weeks
