Eating and drinking at the same time

[John bee12 3]

I’m two years postop gastric bypass and I was wondering will I ever be able to eat and drink at the same time or will it just make me get dumping syndrome or sick has anybody dealt with this??

you'll have to do that for the rest of your life.

it doesn't cause dumping syndrome or make you sick. It washes the food out of your stomach so you get hungry again faster.

Ok I haven’t tried it cause I was told it will make your food hit your intestines to fast and make you sick

I guess it would hit your intestines too fast since the liquid will immediately wash the food out of your stomach (because the pyloric valve has been bypassed. There's just a hole there now that goes into the intestines). But the only things I can think of that would make you sick because of that is sugar (for people who dump, anyway) and alcohol. Although I'm not a doctor, so... I've read and heard that's it's more because when the food washes out of your stomach right away, you get hungry again. If it sits in there for awhile, you don't.
