Quick survey

Please share how long you wait after eating to consume liquids...my local support group has many different opinions. For me, I seem to wait longer if I eat dense proteins. Do you think it makes a difference?

I still trust the OH crew for best info/advice.

BTW, I never respond to each post. So, thank you in advance for any sharing

My instructions were to hold off drinking 30-60 minutes post eating. I don't think I've ever seen anything outside of those guidelines cited by anyone.

Usually 45 mins. My center instructs to stop 30 before and wait for 30 after but I usually am more around 45 mins.

At least 30 minutes, but usually 45.

I agree with the above. Wait 30 to 45.

I wait at least 30 mins.

Edited to add: I don't stop drinking 30 mins before, though. The liquid goes right through and I was told it really wasn't necessary, unless I planned on drinking until I was full lol

30 minutes-- but my forgetting to drink aging will lead that towards being an hour most times. I'm either on the nose of 30 minutes or way past it.

I always look at my watch or Fitbit to see when I finish eating, and then make a mental note of 30 minutes after.

At least 30 minutes. I'm almost 2 years post op and rarely forget to wait for that amount of time. I don't stop drinking 30 minutes before eating though, even though I know that lots of people do.

Same as the others: I don't stop drinking before eating, but stop at least 30 minutes after.
