Does anyone drink while they eat?

I am and I am so afraid I did something to screw up my stoma. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I sometimes do, but not usually. I barely wait the 15 before a dinner... I HAVE to wait the 1hr to 2 hrs after dinner, cuz I get sick if I drink a lot immediately. However, if I'm eating spicy foods, I do sip, but sip only enough to wet my tongue. HTH, ~b

Only every once in awhile. It tends to over-fill my pouch and make me really uncomfortable. I don't usually make the 15 minutes I should wait but I do wait for an hour or so after I eat solids. If it's protein shake, I really have to wait 'cause mine is foamy and really fills the pouch. I guess you aren't damaging yourself, but it takes a lot to get the daily protein, vits and such in if you also drink with meals. Check with your Nutritionist okay?! Hugs! Jacqui 288/185.5/150

I do, not excessivley, but I do. I also have a hard time waiting a long time after I eat. However if I drink with food, I eat less, I guess thats not good. I just feel like things do not go down if I do not sip on something with my meal. Jenn

I'm Guilty

Guilty as charged!

Lisa, No I don't drink while I eat. My doctor told me not to and I am not. I don't want to mess this up for me. I want to follow his directions to the letter. Becky
