KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 4, 2016 I think...It pushes food thru faster and also will fill you up faster - not allowing for enough food to get Protein needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted June 4, 2016 it makes the food move through more quickly and you will eat too much. however, there are supplements I take that need to be taken with food and a sip now and then is ok. sometimes I need a few sips if I am eating something spicy. I am very mindful to just only take what I need and then go back to eating. I want to feel full longer! I try to drink right up until I am ready to eat and then wait a half hour after eating.

rosestara 48 Posted June 4, 2016 I'm going to say something I've never heard anyone say so I guess I am weird. The only thing I'm not worried about after surgery is the eating and drinking thing. Normally, I actually don't eat and drink at the same time unless it is alcohol or coffee. I drink coffee while eating Breakfast or a dessert. I've been known to go to the movies and eat a whole large tub of popcorn and drink nothing until I am finished and then I only take a few sips. I have always had a problem with feeling full after drinking so I developed a habit at a young age of not drinking so I could eat more. I guess that is one reason why I am fat. I do drink a lot of Water in a day but I drink that outside of my meals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted June 4, 2016 this is something your surgeon should have gone over with you. Basically drinking while you eat will help push some of the food out of your stomach allowing you to eat more...which defeats the purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read2016 658 Posted June 4, 2016 A person I know who had WLS was advised one sip of Water for every four bites... That seems reasonable to me. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the summer I love to add frozen berries. keeps it cold and infuses it with flavor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein That's about what I do. If I don't take a sip I feel like the food gets stuck in my throat. I used to have several of glasses of something while I ate. Not doing that anymore has been one of the hardest parts for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
