I have a question ladies?

The question is something I have asked before on the main messageboard. How long do you're wait before you drink after you finish your meal or food? My doctor told me to wait 2 hours before I drink. But I have never did it, I wait maybe 1 hour to 1 hour and thirty minutes. Most of the time I take 2 to 3 sips after I eat so I can have that wet sensation in my mouth. And then I wait. Let me know what you're do. Take care Carolyn

I was told either 30 mins. before or after I eat. My problem is I always get thirsty and always drink when I eat. Not alot most of the time, but it drives me crazy! I get soo thirsty!

at least 30 minutes Lisa B

I was told at least 30 minutes, but 1 hour would be better. Gives the pouch enough time to signal the body that it is full and let you get the feeling of full. My Dr. did an experiment where the had a cup like affair with mushy food (think cottage cheese or oatmeal consistancy) in it (representing the stomach). It did not drip out very quickly. Then he added water to it and it came running out very quickly with just a little stir (think of the stomach digesting). Water on top of food empties the pouch very quickly.

I was told 30 min before you eat, and 1 hour after.
