Drinking after meals !!

[helen144]

hello buds !!!

just a quick question

How come you cant drink for 30 minutes after a meal when you have had a bypass ?

I understand why u cant drink 30 mins before but not after !!!

Cos it washes the food down out of your pouch leaving you without a full feeling, and later on in the journey you might find that makes you hungry.

Hi Helen I'm a bander and we can't drink for 30mins after either.

It can also swell the food in your pouch and cause you to feel uncomfortable or even be sick if you drink too soon after a meal, especially when you are moving from soft foods to solid foods. Stopping fluids for a minimum of 30 minutes after eating really is a good habit to get into early on because it will serve you well to feel full for longer.
