time between liquids and food

I am three and 1/2 weeks post op and having a hard time getting in the liquids. I was told not to drink one hour before or after meals. Is this what others are following? Thanks -Nor-

My doc says one half hour before and after meals...but I know each doctor is different. Good luck!

My doc says 15 minutes before meals and one hour after...truly everybody's program appears to be different!!!

My doctors says 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after. =)

Mine says 1/2 hour before & half hour after.

I am not drinking at lease 30 minutes before meals and when I feel I am ready after. Everyones body is different you have to do what feels right to your body and your stomach. Only you can decide if you are ready to drink. I get more of the Crystal Light in than plain water. I sip all day long. C...

I eat 5-6 times a day and would never get my liquids in if I waited an hour on both sides my doc and nut said 30 mins before and after - but I am usally thirsty and drink 20-25 mins after unless I have "over eaten" then I am to sick to drink - over eat for me however is anything over 1/8 of a cup REJOICE IN YOUR LIMITATIONS is all I can say when I eat 1/8 of a cup at at time LOL I also put ice water by my bed b/c I seem to be able to drink a tad more at night laying down and I get up to 8 oz in that overnight most nights danni
