izzy13 117 Posted January 5, 2017 I follow the not drinking for 30 mins after bc to be honest it hurts if I drink too soon after eating. I'm not sure if that's the reason they told me 30 mins before and after. If I'm eating something spicy I may take a sip or 2 but I rarely drink while eating just bc it does hurt occasionally. My stomach can only hold so much I guess [emoji4] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bama2012 76 Posted January 5, 2017 I thought the no drinking rule was aimed towards the lap band and gastric bypass both that have a smaller pouch that food could slip past. I did not know drinking alone could open the pyloric valve faster to dump food for digestion. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
