Do you have to wait 30 minutes between drinking and eating for life?

That's what my plan suggests.

My plan allows for drinking right up until eating and then no drinking until at least 30 min after eating When I have pushed it because I was thirsty, sometimes it made me sick so I try to stick with it.

If I drink right before or after eating I get sick as well...........I try to wait at least 30 minutes.

I was told to stop drinking 30 mins before a meal and 30 minutes after said meal, otherwise dumping will occur

Lol it still annoys me till this day i cant drink and eat in same time smh

[manitobamama 10]

That's how most of us got to the point of surgery...washing our food down. I don't like it any better and won't change what my doc says until pigs grow wings and fly

If you drink when you eat, it washes the food right down. You don't have time to get the nutrients and you can get hungry faster. It's a pain, but works.

Waiting 30 minutes after you eat also reduces the likelihood of bloating/gas.

We get to drink up to a meal. My nutritionists said there is no evidence that stopping 30 min prior to eating affected weight loss.

im like 8 months out and do feel sickish if i drink right away, the only time you could eat and drink is if you eat a small bite of something and not like a full meals or snack

[Raynbolite 302]

I would as long as possible. Drinking after flushes the food down faster, so you are hungrier faster and absorb less nutrients. We need all the nutrients we can get with smaller portions. Just my take on it.
