Drinking Before/After

I drink up to eating.  If I drink during honestly it feels weird and moves things around.  I do not drink right after eating either because again it feels weird and two it really does give my body a chance to feel full.  If I drink right after the food would move on into the intestines and nothing terrible would happen but why not let it sit put awhile to digest and tell your brain you've eaten and are full.  

I personally ditched this rule very early on. I couldn't stand it. I eat small meals often and so it just did not work for me. I've always just drank water anytime I want and definitely during meals. Here I am about a month away from my 3 year surgiversary and I'm at my lowest weight post-op. My point is, definitely do research and ask questions, but in the end, figure out what works for you and do that. :)
