WHY????

I have heard several different reasons but was just looking for a little insight from all of you.... What is the main reason that we are not to drink and eat at the same time??? I know we are to stop at least 1/2 hour before eating and not to resume till 1/2 hour after we have eaten!! Just wondering!! Missy

1) Takes up space that could otherwise be used for solid protein. 2) Pushes the food out of the pouch too soon which causes dumping. 3) Makes me damed uncomfortable! 4) If something gets stuck or you are eating something that is too dry, you may take a little sip to help it along. Dee
